The Mediterranean diet, which has its roots in the Cretan diet of 1960, is a healthy diet model, which includes the common basic foods of people living in countries around the Mediterranean Sea.

In 2020, the Mediterranean Diet was rated as the healthiest diet in the world for the 3rd consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report. The main ingredient of this diet is extra virgin olive oil.

There are important studies that provide us with data on the benefits of olive oil in our daily diet.
Consuming more than half a tablespoon of olive oil a day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a 2020 study.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When cooking, olive oil can be a healthy substitute for butter, margarine, and other types of fat.

By replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fats, such as oleic acid, in our diet, we help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.

In addition, vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress, while olive oil polyphenols help protect blood lipids.
