This is why a good extra virgin olive oil with a high smoke point that you can cook with, use for salads and add to every meal is so important.
Extra virgin olive oil has so many therapeutic benefits!
It contains compounds called polyphenols that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.
They can also have incredible effects on certain parts of the body, including:
-The cardiovascular system
-The nerves and brain
-The skin
-The eyes
The high polyphenol content in olive oil contributes significantly to reducing inflammation, which benefits conditions like arthritis and heart disease and can support healthy circulation.
Olive oil can even help protect against UV radiation from the sun!
To get these health perks, you need the real deal—extra virgin olive oil. The label “extra virgin” guarantees that the oil has been cold-pressed from freshly harvested olives and is rich in polyphenols.
