Cholesterol
Health: Monounsaturated fatty acids predominate in
olive oil, which play an important role in the metabolism of
cholesterol, avoiding the formation of fat deposits in the arteries.
Monounsaturated fatty acids significantly reduce levels of total
cholesterol and LDL cholesterol or "bad" cholesterol, and they
boost the levels of HDL cholesterol or "good" cholesterol. In
this way olive oil can contribute to the prevention and treatment
of high blood cholesterol, a dominant risk factor in the development
of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. |
