As part of a large-scale study of Spanish scientists, it was found that the use of two tea or one tablespoon of olive oil a day can reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases by 44%, according to the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net It should be noted that the scientists set out to analyze the lifestyle and nutrition of several thousand people to determine how much olive oil can protect them from cancer and the resulting mortality. To achieve special success in this they failed - the statistical significance of the use of olive oil in this case was not revealed.

Olive oil contains a large number of monounsaturated fats and polyphenols - compounds that can reduce inflammation in the body and significantly reduce the risk of blood clots. Spanish scientists have studied nutritional data of 40,622 men and women aged 29 and 69 years, tracking their condition for just over 13 years to see what effect olive oil has on their mortality rate. During the study, nearly 2000 of its participants died, including 956 people from cancer and 416 people from heart disease. The final data showed that the risk of death in the group of subjects consuming olive oil was the lowest among all participants in the study. Those who received 29 g or more per day - a little more than a tablespoon - had a 44% less chance of dying from cardiovascular disease than the average Spaniards.

A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also confirmed the fact that olive oil practically does not reduce the risk of developing cancer, nor does it affect mortality statistics for them. At the same time, the decrease in blood pressure and cholesterol, due to the use of this product, is noted as an important component of maintaining the heart in a healthy state. American experts note that olive oil is an important part of the Mediterranean diet, which is currently regarded by most scientists as the most useful for the cardiovascular system.
