[Guest guest]

I don't usually copy a whole article, but this one isn't too long. There's

some helpful info in here about olive oil.

__________________________________________

A doctors said, prevention is number one factor for good health.

Speaking as simple as we can and without the use of special medical terms we

must point out the following:

1.Many diseases are caused by the incontrollable receipt of food, especially

food containing in excess saturated fatty acids (animal fats), leading to

arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Medical studies indicate that Mediterranean countries and specifically

Greece, where olive oil consumption is high, suffer less cardiovascular

problems from any other country in the world where the ratio of the

consumption of animal fat is high or simply the nutrition parameters are

poor.

By reducing the animal fats and increasing olive oil in our diet, we obtain a

perfect combination for the prevention of such fatal diseases, like

arteriosclerosis and heart attacks.

(MY NOTE: It was said recently by the medical world that the lower incidence

of high blood pressure and heart attacks in Greece was simply because of

genetics, which is not 100 percent true. Olive oil benefits are being studied

now in this country for its benefits. When I get a chance, I'll see if I can

find that quote, but it's also being known as an anti-cancer oil)

2.The problems in bile area torture millions of people on our planet. The bad

function of the bile and the formation of gallstone are problems difficult to

cure and most of the times medical surgery is the only solution available.

Recent medical studies proved that olive oil, perfectly compatible with human

body needs, creates a natural tie to those liquids that result in the

formation of the gallstone mitigating pain and annoyance in bile's area.

3.Millions of people around the world suffer by stomach problems and related

diseases. Very serious is the gastric ulcer disease. As it is known the use

of olive oil in nutrition is a beneficial factor for the function of the

digestive system due to its property of keeping low the percentage of HCl in

our stomach. Thus, the olive oil helps the normal function of the digestive

system reducing to minimum the chances of ulcer creation and the other

relative diseases, not to mention that is the best natural medicament for the

fight against constipation.

It has been also proved that the use of olive oil in nutrition helps to

sustain:

1.Human metabolism at a good balance, body's growth and bone growth at a good

level. It is obvious that olive oil means good health and development for our

children.

2.Good level of Vitamin E in our body. This vitamin has the property to delay

the change of the cellular structure which leads to natural decadence, the

people's aging, so one of the best medicaments for delaying aging is the

olive oil. On the other hand, as we all know, Vitamin E improves our sexual

life. So one can say that olive oil is by itself an aphrodisiac!

Last, but not least, is the unique property of olive oil to dissolve useful

substances coming from food that cannot be absorbed by the human body.

Olive oil is used in everyday cooking. It can be used in salads or added in

the cooking process of almost any recipe. Olive Oil is the healthiest type of

oil with 0% cholesterol, rich in Vitamins against aging and perfect even for

frying dishes. Olive oil is the best nutritional gift we can offer to

ourselves. Olive oil helps us keep good in health making our life pleasant.
