The results of scientific investigation show that many health indexes of residents along the Mediterranean coast are among the highest in the world because of long-term consumption of olive oil. Using olive oil as edible oil can form a truly healthy and reasonable dietary structure. The Mediterranean has become the region with the lowest incidence of three major diseases (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer and Alzheimer's disease) in the world. The incidence of Crete in Greece, which is rich in olive oil, is almost zero; These are all due to the magical health effects of olive oil.
Information from international olive oil council and the European Union shows that the health benefits of olive oil are as follows:
1. Promote blood circulation:
Olive oil can prevent arteriosclerosis and its complications, hypertension, heart disease, heart failure, renal failure and cerebral hemorrhage. In the book Omega Health and Simple Longevity Plan written by Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, it is mentioned that omega -6 fatty acids in edible oil will make arteries contract, forcing the heart to work overtime, leading to high blood pressure. Omega-3 fatty acids in olive oil can increase the content of nitric oxide (an important chemical) and relax your arteries, thus preventing arterial injury caused by high blood pressure. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids can also prevent thrombosis from two aspects. First of all, it can reduce the viscosity of platelets, so that platelets and fibrinogen are not easily entangled; Secondly, omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the amount of fibrinogen and greatly reduce the probability of thrombosis.
2. Improve the function of the digestive system:
Olive oil contains unsaturated fatty acids higher than any vegetable oil, rich in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, F, K, carotene, antioxidants and other ingredients, and contains no cholesterol, so the human body's digestion and absorption rate is extremely high. Has the effects of reducing gastric acid and preventing gastritis and duodenal ulcer. It can also stimulate bile secretion, increase pancreatic enzyme activity, degrade oil, and be absorbed by intestinal mucosa, thus reducing the occurrence of cholecystitis and gallstones.
3. Protect the skin:
Olive oil is rich in squalene and essential fatty acids with excellent affinity to skin, which can be absorbed quickly and effectively keep skin elastic and moist; Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamins E, K, A, D and phenolic antioxidants, which can eliminate facial wrinkles, prevent skin aging, protect hair and prevent chapped hands and feet. It is an edible beauty and skin care product. In addition, applying olive oil to the skin can resist ultraviolet rays and prevent skin cancer.
4. Improve endocrine system function:
Olive oil can improve the metabolic function of the body. This is because olive oil contains more than 80% monounsaturated fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids, and DHA in omega-3 fatty acids can increase insulin sensitivity. The higher the content of unsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane, the more double bonds and the stronger the activity. DHA with six double bonds is the most unsaturated fatty acid, which makes the cell membrane the most active. The more insulin receptors on the cell membrane with strong activity, the more sensitive it is to insulin. When the human body ingests a proper proportion of fatty acids, the metabolism will be more normal, and the probability of obesity and diabetes will be reduced. The latest research results show that the glucose content of healthy people can be reduced by 12% after eating olive oil. Therefore, olive oil has become the best edible oil to prevent and treat diabetes.
5. Benefits to the skeletal system:
Natural antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids in olive oil are helpful to human understanding of minerals.
Absorption of calcium, phosphorus and zinc. It can promote bone growth, and omega-3 fatty acids help to maintain bone density and reduce osteoporosis caused by free radicals (highly active molecules).
6. Anti-cancer effect:
Because olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids in polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce the amount of linoleic acid extracted from blood by cancer, which makes cancer quit a very needed nutrient. ω-3 fatty acids can also compete with ω-6 fatty acids for enzymes needed for cancer metabolism, which makes the cell membrane of cancer cells more unsaturated and easy to be destroyed, thus inhibiting the growth of tumor cells and reducing the incidence of cancer. Therefore, some cancers (breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and uterine cancer) can be prevented. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids (polyunsaturated fatty acids) can also increase the curative effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and kill cells by the explosion of free radicals (highly active molecules). When the cell membrane is damaged enough, cancer cells will destroy themselves. Omega-3 fatty acids make the cell membrane more vulnerable to free radicals, thus increasing the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
7. Radiation protection:
Olive oil is often used to make astronaut food because it contains polyphenols and lipopolysaccharide and also has the function of radiation protection. People who often use computers think it is a good product for health care and skin care.
8. Making baby food:
According to its composition and digestibility, olive oil is the most suitable oil for infants. Half of the baby's calories come from the fat in the mother's milk. After weaning, the required calories will be obtained through the fat in the diet. The ratio of linolenic acid to linoleic acid in olive oil is similar to that in breast milk, which is easy to absorb and can promote the growth and development of infants' nerves and bones. It is an excellent nutritional product and fetal growth agent for pregnant women, and also a good tonic for postpartum and lactation.
9. Anti-aging:
Among many components of olive oil, carotene and chlorophyll give olive oil yellow-green, while chlorophyll plays a metabolic role, promoting cell growth and accelerating wound healing. It also helps to beautify people's appearance and reduce wrinkles. Experiments show that antioxidants contained in olive oil can eliminate free radicals in the body, restore the health of human organs, prevent brain aging and prolong life.
10. Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases:
Olive oil can protect the cardiovascular system in many ways. ① Inflammation can be prevented by reducing homocysteine (an amino acid that can damage the coronary artery wall) and the damage to the arterial wall can be reduced. ② Relaxing arteries and lowering blood pressure by increasing the content of nitric oxide in the body. ③ Monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil can reduce the oxidation of LDA cholesterol. ④ Olive oil contains a substance called squalene, which can increase the content of HDL (good cholesterol) and decrease the content of LDL (bad cholesterol). The more HDL cholesterol in the body, the less oxidized LDL cholesterol in the arteries. The latest research proves that. After middle-aged men took olive oil, the average cholesterol decreased by 13%, and the dangerous "bad" cholesterol decreased by 2 1%. ⑤ Olive oil can reduce the speed of thrombosis by increasing the content of omega-3 fatty acids in the body.
