olive oil and health?
88521
Coming from Greece, there's olive oil in my every day diet ever since I remember. Extra virgin olive oil is very good for your health and heart's health, but of course it is very high in calories as well. However, it isn't nearly as fattening as butter or other animal byproducts. Use it, don't abuse it. And don't expect to see any benefits if you just add olive oil to your diet, without making any changes to your previous eating habits.\n\nOlive oil is best eaten uncooked - as salad dressing for instance, and if you can substitute other oils you use in your food with olive oil, research shows you'll benefit from it. Even when cooked, olive oil is very reluctant, and maintains most of its beneficial properties to health. A Mediterranean diet in general, rich in olive oil, fruit, vegetables and fish - is considered among the best diets.

have already discussed the many toxic effects of the unsaturated oils, and I have frequently mentioned that coconut oil doesn't have those toxic effects, though it does contain a small amount of the unsaturated oils. \n\nMany people have asked me to write something on coconut oil. I thought I might write a small book on it, but I realize that there are no suitable channels for distributing such a book -- if the seed-oil industry can eliminate major corporate food products that have used coconut oil for a hundred years, they certainly have the power to prevent dealers from selling a book that would affect their market more seriously. For the present, I will just outline some of the virtues of coconut oil.

Olive Oil is made up of 80% of monounsaturated acid fats that resist to oxidation more than the polyunsaturated and contribute in keeping high the level of HDL ( the "good" cholesterol) and low the level of LDL (the "bad" cholesterol). \n\nOnly a very small part of olive oil, from 4 to 12 percent, is made up of polyunsaturated acids, whose oxidation can harden the walls of the arteries. \n\nThere are two other essential elements: E vitamin and the poliphenols. Acting in synergy these elements can reduce the risk of some forms of tumors.

2 tea spoons olive oil on toast is very good for our circulatory system. It prevents cholesterol clogging and heart infarcts.

Fish oil contain what are know as omega 3 fatty acids and are suposed to be good for your overall cholesterol status and may help to reduce the levels of other "bad" types of fat in the blood.  The bottom line, as for now, is that it can't hurt.

No satuarated fat and no trans-fat. That means no free-radicals that do so much damage to the heart. Plus olive oil soap is good for the body. It's natural. Forget Crisco and lard. We only use Olive or Canola in this house.

cholesterol is bad thing for your health, if you eat too much then you will get heart-disease. So they remove it from the oil, and put it on the packaging, so that you will buy their oil...lol

Anything on the Mediteranean diet (what the Italians eat) Italians have less heart disease than those of us in US and UK, and this is attributed to their diet. Lots of lovely lean meat and fresh fish with vegetables and salads dressed in olive oil. Add to this as much garlic as you can stand....or garlic capsules if your partner complains. It has the side effect of keeping the vampires away!\n\nTry cookin fresh salmon by wrapping in foil with lemon and parsley and baking in the oven for 15 minutes, medium heat. Serve with potato wedges (preferably home made and without extra salt) Add garlic for flavour instead of salt. Choose your favourite salad or veg to go wit this dish. If you don't like these foods much, don't worry, you can get used to them, and you will soon wonder why you ever ate anything else, because they are Real food and very good for your health generally, as well as your heart.\n\nKeep your intake of salt as low as possible - lots of processed foods contain this.\n\nSorry, but you should avoid smoking and large quantites of alcohol!! But a glass of wine a day with your evening meal could be beneficial - check with your doc.\n\nTry to keep your stress levels low. Do some very gentle exercise and some relaxation to your favourite music.\n\nAsk for and give lots of HUGS!! Very therapeutic "food" for the soul.

Here's what you do: Try to cut out dairy and meat completely or limit yourself to small servings every few days!  Little or NO oil, fried foods.  Every night and every morning, a glass of Lemon and water.  Stevia, although more expensive is a natural sweetener and should be used instead of sugar.  Use whole wheat bread and flour,  white bread and flour sticks to your arteries.  Eat only fruits up until noon.  A LOT of esparagus.  Good and healthy w/ soy sauce, mixed w/ little virgin olive oil, garlic and another spice you may wish to use.  This will help avoid other strokes in the future.  Remember to walk or swim, or do some sort of excercise daily, improving cardiovascular system.  Best of Luck!

1. Diet – Do not consume fatty products (such as ice cream, fatty sweets, fast food pizza) There was a report recently that French fries are very bad for your body as they contain large amounts of saturated fats. If you think you are craving to eat something sweet, eat fruits. Also eat a lot of vegetables. If you need to eat meat, eat fish (not chicken, crab). Fish has oils (HDL) which lower blood cholesterol levels and therefore is good for you. Cook food in canola or olive oil. As these are polyunsaturated oils, they help lower cholesterol levels. Consult a dietician for an individualized diet advice.\n2. Exercise – Exercise regularly. Join a weight reduction programme at a hospital also and very religiously attend it. Furthermore, reducing abdominal fat significantly lowers your risk of disease in the future (so do 50 proper sit-ups everyday).\n3. Medicine -The lipid (fat) lowering drugs if prescribed need to be taken apropriately. If you have forgotten what the dose was, consult a doctor and have a cholesterol check periodically. These lipid (fat) lowering drugs are only known to work with dietary changes. They are very effective and are known to reduce mortality by 30-40%, and therefore it is very worth while taking them properly.\n4. The website of British heart foundation may give more valuable tips. http://www.heartstats.org/homepage.asp copy\n5. Have regular health check ups, depending on what your doctor says. Prevention is always better than a cure.

Absolutely, it's good to get omega-3 from fish oil/flax seed. I personally prefer flaxseed supplements because you don't get the fishy aftertaste.

Ahh Oil of Oregano!  My grandpa is an Oil of Oregano freak.  He takes it everyday.  He hasn't had a cold for like 8 years.  Apparently it boosts your immune system quite a bit.  My cousin had an infection and he went to the ER, they asked him if he was on any antibiotics and he said no but he had been taking Oil of Oregano.  They said there was a build-up antibodies in his systems because of the Oil.  They also said if it was there he probably would have died.  Its good stuff!
