so what would happen if you consumed just two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil every single day that’s a topic for today there’s a lot of amazing things in olive oil that people have no clue and there’s a couple ways you can take it I put it on my salad and this is my I don’t know if you can see this right here this is my olive oil right here okay I use a very specific type because it’s the real stuff I’ve been to the farm in Italy where they grow these olives it’s called vittori San Michele
atori okay but anyway unfortunately a lot of the olive oil out there is fake and I had no idea of fake versus real for many many years and probably until five years ago when I actually tasted real extra virgin olive oil and I’m like wow this is amazing before I was consuming this fake olive oil that was Bland it didn’t really have any taste didn’t have that uh peppery grass like taste and it didn’t irritate the back of my throat those are just indicators you have the real thing because Unfortunately they sometimes dilute
olive oil with other oils like soy or Canola so they’re trying to clean that up right now but it was quite amazing when I went to this Farm where they created solid oil I had a chance to check the soil and check the microbes which are off the chart also the care involved in making this product was just way over the top I mean this goes Way Beyond just organic now I don’t get any kickbacks from this company but I will say when I find a good product I definitely will let people know about it so you can either add it to your salad
with balsamic vinaigrette or apple cider vinegar I put some lemon on my salad I put sea salt or you can just take two tablespoons of this oil every day it’s a pure fat so it’s not going to spike insulin so let me just go through some of the compound pounds in olive oil okay and I’m not going to give you the long names because every time I do that I tend to put people to sleep so I’ll just bring it up on the slide and I’ll go through the different effects that can be created so this first phytonutrient
has some pretty powerful cardio protective properties okay giving you significant blood pressure lowering effects you have two different types of blood pressure you have primary and secondary another name for primary is called essential so essential hypertension and what’s interesting about that is that it doesn’t have a cause they don’t know what the cause is and that’s 95 of all the blood pressure problems out there they don’t know what the cause is of course we have all sorts of medications
to help you in the meantime until we find a cause and since we’re on the topic of this you might also want to add vitamin D and more potassium as well as lowering your sugar because when you have insulin resistance you can make the arteries really really hardened and your blood pressure will go up but the point is that extra virgin olive oil can help you they even make the special point if you’re on medication and you’re taking olive oil at the same time your blood pressure could come down too low I mean
why wouldn’t you want something without side effects to lower your blood pressure I mean the solution is just to take less medication right some other benefits include anti-cancer it also protects the hypothalamus and another part of your brain called the substantia nagra which has everything to do about dopamine and if you have a problem with that part of your brain you can end up with Parkinson’s so olive oil protects the brain and has neural protective properties and another really important thing about olive oil is it’s very
anti-inflammatory there’s a lot of things in extra virgin olive oil that help with inflammation and pain so let’s move on to the next phytonutrient this one again gives you anti-inflammatory benefits it can act as an analgesic to help with pain it has antimicrobial effects and also it can help support the beta cell the pancreas which has everything to do with helping your blood sugars and also with helping lowering insulin because the beta cell makes insulin all right in this next compound there’s
anti-cancer properties as well as anti-arthritic benefits and then in these last three phytonutrients which are sterols a sterile is a compound that’s very similar to cholesterol and also similar to steroids and so in this first compound there’s benefits with uh benign prostatic hypertrophy if you get this enlarged prostate extra virgin olive oil can help you this phytonutrient also helps you balance cholesterol specifically LDL and I’m talking about the small dense particles okay and then we get another
phytonutrient which is a another sterol which is anti-inflammatory and also what can benefit your LDL and then there’s another sterol which can also help with your LDL so there are a lot of different phytonutrients I just covered only six of them but there are hundreds of naturally occurring compounds with all sorts of very cool effects there’s also by the way a good amount of vitamin E in extra virgin olive oil so I hope in this article I convinced you to start using more olive oil on a regular basis it can
really help you and if you haven’t seen this article on olive oil you definitely want to check it out I put it up right here
