 olive oil is often recognized as a superfood around the world due to

numerous benefits that it can provide the human body anecdotal studies claim that drinking

olive oil in the morning on an empty stomach can actually detox and cleanse

the body and offer many other health benefits as well

but does it actually work research is some what limited in this area although

it is well documented that olive oil can provide some amazing benefits for your

health and that is exactly what we are going to describe you be sure to read until the end because

there's one benefit that you've probably never heard of before so if you're ready 

just a quick reminder this blog is for informational purposes only but one of the primary benefits of

olive oil.

1: HELPS PREVENT OBESITY:-

olive oil is fairly high in calories so you may be surprised to hear that it's

linked to lower rates of obesity one study from Spain divided

participants into two groups those who used olive oil for cooking and those who used

other oils after six years researchers measured their weights and found that

those who used olive oil had lower obesity rates than those who

use other oils while cooking olive oil helps your body reduce its biotoxicity

which is the amount of lipid cells in your body fat this can lead to an overall decrease in

the amount of fat that surrounds your organs olive oil is also rich in monounsaturated fats

which are known to help with fat loss as well.

2: REDUCE HEART PROBLEMS:-

when it comes to heart health olive oil

makes a great substitute for butter and margarine

researchers found that people who eat

half a tablespoon of olive oil or more

per day have a 15 lower risk of cardiovascular disease

replacing one teaspoon of butter with olive oil per day

could reduce your risk of heart disease

by up to five percent one of the most important factors in

heart disease is cholesterol if you have too much ldl

cholesterol in your blood it can build up in your arteries as well

eventually this will slow down the blood

flow to your heart or even block it completely

the monounsaturated fats in olive oil

help to reduce your body's level of l dl

cholesterol which lowers your risk of heart disease

3: ANTIOXIDANTS:-

 Antioxidants fight off free radicals which are compounds that can do

a good deal of damage to your body if they build up over time free radicals

are linked to heart disease cancer diabetes and a number of other

conditions fortunately antioxidants are there to keep these harmful compounds to a minimum

your body makes its own antioxidants but the antioxidants found in food can give

you a much needed boost for fighting free radicals olive oil contains a long list of antioxidants

such as vitamin e and phenolic acid which helps to keep you healthy and

reduce your risk of many different illnesses.

4: REDUCE INFLAMMATION:-

olive oil also helps to reduce inflammation

as we just discussed olive oil is loaded with antioxidants

which makes it one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory foods out there

one antioxidant in particular that we should mention is

oleocanthal which has been found to have similar effects as ibuprofen when it

comes to reducing inflammation and decreasing pain.

5:ANTI-AGING EFFECTS:-

olive oil has also been shown to have anti-aging effects

that's right the monounsaturated fat in

olive oil may actually reduce the effects of aging on

your skin one study found that participants who

consumed more olive oil showed fewer

signs of aging after two years than those who consume

less olive oil contains vitamin e which is well known for its benefits for

the skin some sources even recommend applying olive oil around your eyes to

prevent or reduce wrinkles with that said there's not much research

into the effects of olive oil as a topical treatment though

so it may be best just to simply add it to your food.

6:IMPROVES BRAIN COGNITION:-.

 you may not have realized it but

olive oil improves brain cognition as well now let's not

get ahead of ourselves it may not make the average person

smarter but is a proven protector against cognitive decline in

older adults several studies show a link

between consumption of extra virgin olive oil

and improved cognitive functioning and it may even reduce your risk of

developing Alzheimer's or dementia as well the ingredient that's most likely

responsible for these cognitive benefits is olyropine which is a compound that

has neural protective effects extra virgin olive oil has an especially

high concentration of Alluri pine so incorporating it into your diet can

help to protect your brain health and keep your mind sharp as you age .

7:HELP WITH DIABETES:-

another great benefit of olive oil is that it helps with diabetes type 2 diabetes

is one of the most common illnesses affecting adults and it can take a

serious toll on your health when you have type 2 diabetes your body doesn't properly use

insulin to regulate the amount of sugar in your blood

olive oil can be beneficial for people with diabetes because it elevates your insulin levels

which allows the body to control your blood sugar levels more successfully

multiple studies show that people with diabetes have higher insulin

and lower blood sugar levels after eating a meal that contains olive oil.

8:CONTAINS ANTIBACTERIAL PROPERTIES:-

it should also be noted that olive oil contains antibacterial properties

as well it doesn't just protect your body from harmful free radicals

it also wards off dangerous bacteria as well the polyphenols found in olive oil are

especially effective against a type of bacteria that lives in the stomach and

can lead to stomach ulcers and cancer just one tablespoon of olive oil per day

can inhibit the growth of a variety of harmful bacteria or even kill the bacteria off entirely'

9:IMPROVES YOUR SKIN:-

olive oil also improves the health of your skin we already discussed the anti-aging

effects of olive oil but it has several other benefits for

your skin as well first it has moisturizing effects which makes it a great treatment for dry or itchy skin

the vitamin e and olive oil can also  work effectively to clear up acne

and reduce blemishes its antioxidant and antibacterial qualities can have positive effects on the skin as

well with that said some people have mixed results when using olive oil as a topical treatment for their skin if you have sensitive skin be cautious of putting olive oil on your face

as it can cause irritation and clogged pores instead like we mentioned earlier it may

be best just to add it to your diet to take advantage of all the other health benefits as well.

10: PROVIDES RELIEF FOR CONSTIPATION:-

 most people you probably didn't realize that olive oil provides relief for

constipation that's right olive oil has mild laxative effects

and can be a much safer solution for constipation than some of the

over-the-counter alternatives the fats found in olive oil cause your

stool to take in more water which softens it and helps it pass

through your system more easily olive oil helps to soften the insides of

your intestines as well. which also allows for healthier bowel movements
