NOTICE THAT EVOO IS THE ONLY FAT RECOMMENDED FOR DAILY USE

– prevents cardiovascular diseases: extra virgin olive oil is low in saturated fats and rich in monounsaturated fats which regulate the sugar level, cholesterol and triglycerides in our blood.
 – reduces skin aging: olive oil is rich in polyphenols, precious natural antioxidants which contribute to the cell protection from aging. In addition the union of monounsaturated fats to phenols helps to reduce the risk of tumoral diseases.
 – helps to lower the blood pressure: every-day use of extra virgin olive oil lowers the blood pressure, thanks to the polyphenols action.
 – tackles diabetes: the fat acids in the olive oil contribute to the production of insulin. A balanced diet rich in carbohydrates and fibers, along with a constant use of extra virgin olive oil, is effective in maintaining the glucose levels low.
 – moisturizes the skin: since the Greek-Roman era the use of oil as healing ointment was widespread, to fight skin irritations and burns.
