Dear Olive Oil Friend,
FAT – many readers will instinctively cringe at this word. However, fats are essential for human survival, even though advertising has been effective in communicating otherwise. What matters is which fats are involved because there are big differences!
Do you know off the top of your head what types of fat are in olive oil? If not, then this newsletter is for you. :-)
In addition to saturated fatty acids, olive oil also contains a particularly high proportion of valuable unsaturated fatty acids. It is particularly rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which are among the healthiest fats of all! This monounsaturated fat is a fatty acid called oleic acid. Studies suggest that oleic acid can reduce inflammation and even have a positive effect on blood pressure. In addition, olive oil also contains other fatty acids, namely omega-3 and omega-6. A true superfood, as we described in our last newsletter! If you'd like to reread the last newsletter, you can find it in our Archive.
The Mediterranean diet uses a particularly high amount of olive oil, which is said to have a positive effect on the health and life expectancy of people living in the Mediterranean region.
Furthermore, many studies have shown that the fats in olive oil probably have far more positive than negative effects on body weight.
Another valuable source of fat is nuts. They are also said to be very beneficial to health! How about a crisp salad garnished with nuts and high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil?
No matter what connotations fat evokes in us, we absolutely need it to live. Therefore, we should pay attention to the source we get it from.
