Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Everyday Life.

We have always heard about the great benefits of consuming olive oil daily, and it's no wonder they call it liquid gold. Moreover, it's often referred to as the king of the Mediterranean diet.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is one of our greatest allies when it comes to health. It has been the subject of research for years, and there are indeed numerous benefits it provides to our bodies.

Many studies emphasize the importance and significant daily benefits of EVOO, including the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, its antioxidant properties, and its anti-inflammatory power, among others.

But before delving into all its benefits, let's focus on its composition.

Do you know what 100 grams of extra virgin olive oil is composed of?

- 100 grams of lipids. Of these, 78 grams are monounsaturated (oleic acid), 7.5 grams are polyunsaturated, and 14.21 grams are saturated fatty acids.

- 888 kilocalories of energy.

- 34 micrograms of vitamin A.

- 18.34 milligrams of vitamin E. This is 13% of the daily recommended intake.

Nutrition experts and doctors always recommend consuming it with caution, especially due to its high energy content. However, there's no doubt that there are many reasons to consume 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil a day. Would you like more reasons? We'll provide them.

Among its significant benefits, we can highlight:

As mentioned above, EOVO is anti-inflammatory. The anti-inflammatory action is attributed to a compound called oleocanthal, which is responsible for the slightly spicy taste of this type of oil.
Assists in Weight Loss, thanks to a substance called oleoylethanolamide, which is synthesized in the intestine from oleic acid and has an appetite-suppressing effect. You can incorporate our special EOVO in your kitchen and use it in your favorite dishes.
Reduces the Effects of 'Bad' Cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, as it is rich in oleuropein and has a high percentage of oleocanthal, a natural anti-inflammatory.
Abundant in Antioxidants. These are elements that neutralize what we know as 'free radicals,' molecules that cause damage to our cells and worsen natural aging.
Regulates Blood Pressure, improves glucose control, and reduces the risk of diabetes. It's essential that its consumption be regular for these benefits.
Many experts recommend taking it on an empty stomach, and this consumption is not limited by age or any physiological condition.
Acts as a shield for our neurological system, as it protects our nervous system, which is essential for our daily life.
It's the system that sends signals. The consumption of EOVO will help protect our neurons and cells.

We could continue and write a book about all the benefits of EOVO in daily life, but before that, we would like to talk to you and offer advice about our premium extra virgin olive oil.
