olive oil best for health
Olive Oil is now universally accepted as the healthiest of all edible oils, a fact that has been confirmed by all
recent scientific research. Olive oil has the highest content of monounsaturated fats (MUF) and among the lowest amounts of other harmful fats. MUF increases good cholesterol (HDL) and reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides. Olive oil thus fights against heart disease. It is also a rich source of Vitamins A, D, E, K and other antioxidants, which fight cancer, prevent ageing and work wonders for your skin and hair. Olive oil is also good for the digestive system, bone structure, high blood pressure and diabetes. Most doctors recommend a complete switch over to olive oil during post-cardiac problems. Why not switch earlier and prevent problems before they arise?
Even though olive oil costs more than other edible oils, it is economical to use since it is used in 1/3rd the quantity of other edible oils. Since olive oil has a high smoking point, it can also be reused up to three times. Hence, the effective cost of olive oil is 1/9th its actual price
