Opt For Extra Virgin Olive Oil

 

14 Mar 2022

There are many cooking oils on the market, but extra virgin olive oil  is the healthy option. “Extra virgin” is an unrefined oil, not treated with chemicals. Extra virgin olive oil contains more of the natural vitamins and minerals found in olives, offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, containing about 75% by volume. When substituted for saturated fat, monounsaturated fats help lower your “bad” LDL cholesterol.
