Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, maintaining good health is more important than ever. This can be achieved by exercising regularly and eating and cooking nutritious food. One food that can help with this is olive oil.
Health benefits
In addition to vitamins E and K, olive oil also boasts of antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Vitamin K aids in blood clotting and wound healing, while vitamin E promotes healthy skin and nails.
With its antibacterial properties, olive oil may also help prevent stomach ulcers. Olive oil has also been purported to prevent strokes and lower the risk of depression.
Furthermore, olive oil is rich in healthy monosaturated fats, such as oleic acid. Oleic acid is said to help reduce inflammation. Reduced inflammation, in turn, may help decrease the risk of the following: cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and obesity.
Monosaturated fats are also highly resistant to heat, making it ideal for cooking, especially at home during the pandemic.
For instance, Doña Elena Olive Oil contains 80% monounsaturated oleic acids. It’s also celebrated for its perfected combination of premium-quality olives directly sourced and harvested from the farms of Andalucia in Spain.
