Do you know why you should consume high-quality extra virgin olive oil?🫒
1. “Taking antioxidant supplements does not have the same effect as consuming natural antioxidants in food.”
2. “There are a number of powerful antioxidants in extra virgin olive oil and their activity has been shown to include many health benefits, including their protective role in coronary heart disease.”
3. “Now the European Food Safety Agency has also approved health claims for extra virgin olive oils with a polyphenol content of more than 250mg/kg. The advice is to consume two to three tablespoons of such oils per day.”
