Olive Oil: liquid gold for the heart

Olive Oil — liquid gold for the heart. Extra-virgin olive oil is the primary fat in Mediterranean diets associated with longevity. Its polyphenols reduce oxidative stress and support healthy cholesterol and blood vessel function. Replacing butter or seed oils with extra-virgin olive oil is a more impactful move than simply adding more fat. Ignoring it tends to magnify fatigue, cravings and recovery time after stress. It feeds the molecular machinery that repairs DNA, builds proteins and clears toxins. Prepare the environment in advance so the healthy choice becomes the easy choice. For most adults, drizzle olive oil on vegetables, salads and whole grains instead of butter. Keep it simple enough to do even on your hardest day.
