Virgin Empty
The abundant use of olives and extra virgin olive oil truly defines the traditional Mediterranean diet. In fact, is the principal fat source and the culinary foundation Mediterranean cuisine.
Why?
For centuries, olive oil has been a major player in the low incidence of heart disease among Mediterranean populations. Numerous investigations have shown that olive oil not only prevents damage to the arteries, but also reverses high levels of cholesterol in the blood and lowers blood pressure.
Here's the proof …
Why the extra virgin olive oil is an irreplaceable source fat when it comes to your heart
In a study conducted by Montoya and associates, participants followed four different diets for five weeks:
1. A diet high in saturated fat
2. One of polyunsaturated oils (sunflower)
3. One in monounsaturated fat (extra virgin olive oil)
4. One omega-3 fatty acids from fish.
The study showed that when people followed the diet rich in extra virgin olive oil, its levels of bad cholesterol and lowered blood pressure decreased 5 to 6 percent.
As you can see extra virgin olive oil is an irreplaceable source fat when it comes to your heart, because it is the main monounsaturated fat in olive oil. This is the fat that is not stuck in the arteries.
Now, I know you're thinking: "All olive oils have about the same proportion of monounsaturated fat, why should I buy extra virgin olive oil, when more expensive than refined olive oil? "
Two main reasons why you need to buy Extra Virgin Olive Oil and refined olive oils
1. Refined olive oils are loaded with chemicals
Thousands of years ago, the olives were crushed by hand in spherical stone basins. Today, in a similar method, olives (with pits) are pounded and crushed using mechanical techniques. The oil produced in such a way (cold) is the extra virgin olive oil, fresh juice from the olives. It preserves the unique flavor, smell and the healthy properties of fruit.
The solid residue that remains after the first extraction is sent back to the press to be beaten again and be exposed to different heat levels and chemical procedures. Neutralized with sodium hydroxide, passed through charcoal filters, and extracted with hexane at low temperatures. Over time, the use of oils that have been subjected to agents chemicals can have a toxic effect on our bodies.
That's why these second extractions are not recommended for consumption.
2. Oil extra virgin olive contains more antioxidants than their refined
versions
Along with a loss of color and aroma, refined olive oil loses most part of its antioxidant properties. Through numerous studies of these abundant minor compounds such as Vitamin E, Polyphenols and major hydrocarbon Squalene, We learned that these compounds are strong antioxidants and potent free radical scavengers.
Scavengers, such as polyphenols hydroxytyrosol find radical free molecules that are highly unstable and destructive. Free radicals subject our cells to oxidative stress and continuous damage that eventually kills the cells. When radicals kill or damage enough cells in an organism, the organism ages and dies.
The more antioxidants found in your body, more cells can be saved. Also consistent evidence shows that people with low levels of antioxidants like vitamin E in their blood have more damage in the arteries that people with an adequate amount.
Closing arguments of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Buying extra virgin olive oil can be a little more expensive. But eventually, you can save lot of money and pain.
A nine-month study at the University of Granada in Spain compared the effects of oil extra virgin olive and refined levels of LDL oxidation in men with decreased blood flow in the arms and legs due to thickening and narrowing of blood vessels. The participants consumed extra virgin olive oil for the first three months. Over the next three months do not consume oil. For the past three months were given refined oil. The results showed that the amount of LDL oxidation was significantly lower after the patients consumed olive oil extra virgin, after they consumed refined olive oil.
Buying extra virgin olive oil is your decision. But remember, the wrong decision can put your heart and your health at risk.
