Heart health and the benefits of extra virgin olive oil

February is heart month and a great time to learn about the health benefits of consuming high quality extra virgin olive oil!

The American Heart Association published an article in 2020 after a 4 year study done on both men and women stating "Researchers found those who ate more than half a tablespoon of olive oil each day had a 15% lower risk of having any kind of cardiovascular disease and a 21% lower risk of coronary heart disease. Replacing one teaspoon of butter, margarine, mayonnaise or dairy fat with the same amount of olive oil lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 5% and coronary heart disease by 7%."

People whose diets included at least a daily half tablespoon of olive oil had a 14% lower risk for cardiovascular disease, and an 18% lower risk for coronary heart disease, than people who consumed no olive oil, according to a study led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

There are a lot of studies out there and most of them agree that about 4 tablespoons daily of extra virgin olive oil is recommended and suggests substituting olive oil for mayonnaise, margarine, butter or other dairy fats. Pairing it with the Mediterranean diet can help significantly lessen the possibility of cardiovascular problems. It is worth a try, don't you think?
