"Olive Oil: A Key to Lower Blood Pressure and Reduced Diabetes Risk"
Olive oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), has been linked to numerous health benefits such as lowered blood pressure, reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes, and improved cholesterol levels due to its high content of antioxidant plant compounds. EVOO has been found to be more beneficial than regular olive oil due to its unrefined production process that preserves antioxidants. While EVOO is considered one of the healthiest oils, experts suggest that other unsaturated plant oils like canola and soybean can also be healthful, and replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in our diets is generally healthier.
