Why is olive oil actually so healthy?

Olive oil is much more than just a gourmet flavor; it proves to be a true miracle elixir for our health. The reason for this lies in its valuable composition of monounsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, as well as antioxidants such as polyphenols and vitamin E. These valuable components contribute to reducing inflammation in the body and lowering the risk of heart disease. Additionally, there is also the possibility that olive oil may have a positive impact on blood pressure and can lower LDL cholesterol, known as the 'bad' cholesterol. However, it is important to note that olive oil is still a source of fat and should be consumed in moderation to ensure a balanced diet and a healthy weight.
