"Olive oil" can almost be said to be an oil with zero negative evaluation. It is an indispensable element in the world's number one Mediterranean diet. It not only has anti-inflammatory effect, but also helps to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies have confirmed that olive oil helps to lose weight and protect liver function.

Many people drink olive oil directly to keep healthy. Olive oil tastes very spicy. This aldehyde is a kind of phenol. Phenol is a kind of plant compound, which usually exists in the form of connected polyphenols, and can effectively stimulate the repair mechanism of human body after eating.

Olive oil aldehyde has a good anti-inflammatory effect. Inflammation of the body will greatly offset "neuroplasticity" (that is, the ability of brain structure to change in our life), and academic circles have even begun to find that inflammation can make people feel depressed.

Olive oil helps to maintain brain power and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Olive oil is the main component of Mediterranean diet, and people who eat Mediterranean diet are less likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Aldehydes in olive oil may play an important role in it. It has been proved that it has the potential to help the brain remove amyloid plaques. Alzheimer's disease is the result of this sticky protein accumulating in the brain and reaching harmful levels.

Aldehydes in olive oil can increase the activity of enzymes that remove amyloid plaques. Many large-scale long-term experiments show that if you eat less than one liter of cold-pressed virgin olive oil every week, you can protect your brain, prevent recession (and even improve cognitive function).

Olive oil can prevent fat synthesis in the body and protect the liver. If it is not enough to protect the brain, olive oil has also been proved to block the role of fatty acid synthase in adipose tissue. This enzyme will turn too many carbohydrates we eat into fat.

In this study, the team led by Pharmacology of the University of Seville in Spain confirmed that after adding olive oil to the diet, the obesity of obese mice was significantly reduced. The research team asked two groups of mice to eat high saturated fat diet and olive oil diet respectively, with the same calories. After 10 weeks, the weight of mice in the olive oil group decreased by 30%.

After analyzing the detailed data, this study shows for the first time that olive oil can not only reduce the weight of obese animals, but also reduce body fat and liver inflammation.

In a spoonful of cold pressed virgin olive oil, the content of vitamin E reaches 10% of the recommended daily intake. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which can protect fat-rich structures in the body (such as the brain) from aging damage.
