A new study in the nutritional benefits of olive oil, conducted by The Environmental, Biochemical, and Nutritional Analytical-Control Research Group, directed by Professors Alberto Fernández Gutiérrez and Antonio Segura Carretero, was completed recently. This study determined that consumption of olive oil rich in polyphenols (natural antioxidants) enhances the health of people suffering from oxidative stress, and is also highly helpful in the deterrence of cell aging and osteoporosis.

Olive oil is already recognized for numerous other health benefits, which include the following;

• Reduce blood pressure
• Inhibit the growth of some cancers
• Control blood sugar in people with diabetes
• Lessen the severity of asthma and arthritis
• Help your body maintain a lower weight
• Natural anti-inflammatory
