Health benefits of EVOO: much more than just an oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is not only a delicious ingredient but also a powerful ally for health. Its antioxidant properties and healthy fats make it a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet. Here’s how regular consumption of EVOO, especially Emán Vara Gourmet’s 12+1, can enhance your well-being:

1. Heart Protection

Rich in oleic acid, EVOO helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL), promoting heart health.

2. Antioxidant Power

High in polyphenols, EVOO acts as a natural antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage and preventing chronic diseases.

3. Anti-inflammatory Effects

Contains oleocanthal, with anti-inflammatory properties similar to ibuprofen, helping reduce inflammation and joint pain.

4. Metabolism Regulation

EVOO improves digestion, aids nutrient absorption (like vitamins A, D, E, K), and boosts metabolism.

5. Brain Health

Polyphenols support cognitive function and help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

How to incorporate it into your diet

For maximum benefits, use EVOO raw in salads, toasts, or as a finishing touch on dishes. It’s also ideal for sautéing and roasting. Emán Vara Gourmet’s 12+1 EVOO is a premium option to enhance both your meals and your health.
