Olive oil can be added to just about any meal or salad and is the staple of a Mediterranean diet. Did you know that people in Mediterranean regions have lower cancer rates and better heart health? It seems like olive oil isn't just tasty, but is natural health insurance.
Olive oil is sometimes called liquid gold, and there are many ways to use the oil for life's challenges and to improve your health such as lowering cholesterol. LDL cholesterol, deposits in the arteries, blocking the blood vessels and heightening the risk of heart disease.

One study concluded that taking the oil reduced the incidence of hypertension in men, while an additional study in the American Journal of Hypertension concluded that polyphenol rich olive oil helps reduce blood pressure in young women with mild hypertension.
