Carolyn Guilford, CNC Including Olive Oil in our diet daily can decrease heart attacks and their complications.

Extra virgin olive oil is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory foods currently known. By helping to prevent and reverse the damage done in the body by free radicals, olive oil’s components have been heralded for thousands of years. Studies old and new confirm what Socrates knew in 400B.C. as he prescribed olive oil for ulcers, gallbladder problem, muscle aches and many other conditions.

A deficiency of the essential fatty acids contained in Olive oil can lead to hair loss, liver and kidney problems, mental confusion, high triglycerides, high blood pressure and heart attacks, and sticky platelets, which can lead to blood clots.

As rust corrodes and eats away metal, so will LDL (bad cholesterol) cause oxidation in our bodies, creating a kind of rust which results in cell damage that leads to heart attack and strokes. This oxidative process causes inflammation all over the body, and many scientists believe is the underlying cause of all disease processes, including all cancers, muscular and skeletal diseases, diabetes, gallstones, and even edema.

So, what to do? Add extra virgin olive oil to your diet everyday. Take a tablespoon each morning, then add a tablespoon to your salad, or drizzle on cooked veggies, a rice dish, after you’ve plated it. Or, dip your bread in olive oil instead of using butter or margarine. (I hope you are not still using margarine).

Purchase ‘cold pressed’ or ‘extra virgin’ olive oil in large containers, pour into smaller bottles for daily use, store the remainder in a cool, dry, dark place. It does not need to be refrigerated. Use freely and so that it does not become rancid.

Do not use for high heat cooking such as frying. High heat destroys the nutrients and degrades and diminishes the health benefits of the olive oil.

Olive oil is also great on the skin as a moisturizer, apply to clean skin morning and night, and is fine to use under makeup. As a hair conditioner, apply warm, cover with plastic cap for one hour – to 24 hours (your discretion), wash and style.

The heart of the matter is that making olive oil a part our daily lives has many uses and health benefits. I think you will love the results.
