Many studies show that extra-virgin olive oil can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis. If you remember what your doctor said about cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a good type of cholesterol. These healthy fats can be found in avocados, nuts, fatty fish, and olive oil. Yes! Olive oil can have a positive effect on your body's HDL levels.

As reported by www.southernliving.com, from the site Eat This Not That, leads us to a new study conducted by the American Heart Association (AHA). They found that there are other benefits in olive oil, namely, HDL can also fight inflammation which can help prevent heart attacks. Not only that in this study it was also found that when HDL particles were able to suppress inflammation they also reduced the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

While the increase in HDL's anti-inflammatory capacity was higher in women than men, this is good news for those of you concerned with heart health. In the medical world, doctors will not prescribe olive oil injections to ward off heart attacks in the near future. Based on this research, there is a growing body of evidence (including this new study), showing that olive oil can help you stay healthy.

You can process or add the food you cook with olive oil. For example, you can try making food menus, such as olive oil used as a dip for baguettes as an appetizer. Or serve grilled salmon with lemon juice and olive oil for dinner, it will make the food taste more delicious! Good luck.
