A group of American researchers representing the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) found that extra virgin olive oil can bring the greatest benefits specifically for the human brain.. According to scientists, this product stimulates the work of the body, which helps to increase memory and improves learning..

In particular, the experts said that using the example of experimental mice, they were able to establish the fact that olive oil cleanses the brain of toxins and intracellular waste products such as neurofibrillary tangles.. By the way, with regards to the latter, they not only inhibit certain processes, but also indirectly affect the development of Alzheimer's disease..

It is noted that improved results in mice began to be observed after 3-4 months of the Mediterranean diet with olive oil.. After a designated period of time, the rodents began to show much more active brain activity, including increased learning ability.. In addition, the subjects' memory processes have been significantly improved..

The authors of the study are confident that its results suggest that olive oil is as beneficial for humans as it is for mice.. At the same time, scientists admit that in order to assert this so categorically, it is necessary to conduct a lot more laboratory experiments and analyzes..
