    Hi everyone! I am trying to take care of my health and recently read that extra virgin olive oil can be good for the heart. I would like to know more about how exactly it affects the cardiovascular system and whether it is worth including in the daily diet?

    Hi, I believe that modern olive oil benefits for health is truly recognized as one of the healthiest foods for maintaining heart health, and this is supported by many scientific studies. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, which help reduce the level of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and increase the level of “good” cholesterol (HDL). This, in turn, helps prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries, which is the main cause of heart diseases such as heart attack or stroke.
