The Top 10 Health Benefits of Our High-Quality Olive Oil You Should Know
At Oliveto Imports, we are passionate about bringing the finest cold-pressed, high-polyphenol olive oils directly to your table and we’re committed to making that olive oil not just taste exceptional, but nurture your health and wellbeing too.
When you choose the oils we supply, you are choosing the very best nature has to offer. In this article, we delve into the top ten health benefits of our high-quality olive oil, our cold-pressed olive oil, and our high polyphenol olive oil.
1. Rich in Heart-Healthy Monounsaturated Fats
One of the most celebrated health benefits of our high-quality olive oil is its impressive content of monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid.
These healthy fats are known to reduce inflammation and may even have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer. Studies consistently show that people who consume diets rich in olive oil have a significantly lower risk of heart disease.
2. Powerful Antioxidant Protection
The San Giuliano cold-pressed olive oils we supply are brimming with powerful antioxidants, including polyphenols, vitamin E, and carotenoids.
These compounds help combat oxidative stress, a major contributor to chronic diseases and ageing.
The health benefits of high polyphenol olive oil also include enhanced protection against free radical damage, helping to keep your cells healthy and robust.
3. Natural Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Chronic inflammation is believed to be a leading driver of many serious diseases. The polyphenols present in the high-quality olive oils we supply act as natural anti-inflammatory agents.
In fact, oleocanthal, a compound found in extra virgin olive oil, has been shown to work similarly to ibuprofen in reducing inflammation. Choosing our olive oil can be a simple yet powerful way to support your body’s natural defences.
4. Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels
The health benefits of cold-pressed olive oil, or olive oil made through the process of cold extraction, extend to improving your blood lipid profile. Regular consumption can lower LDL (bad) cholesterol while raising HDL (good) cholesterol.
Furthermore, our cold-pressed, high-polyphenol oils are particularly effective in promoting cardiovascular health and helping to maintain healthy arteries.
5. Aiding Weight Management
Contrary to the outdated myth that all fats contribute to weight gain, the healthy fats found in our oils can actually support weight management.
Incorporating the right types of fat into your diet; particularly from a high-quality olive oil source can enhance feelings of fullness and reduce the likelihood of overeating.
6. Enhances Brain Function
Emerging research suggests that the health benefits of high-quality olive oil include protecting cognitive function as we age.
Additionally, polyphenols and other beneficial compounds may help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Adding our premium olive oil to your daily meals could be a delicious way to boost brain health for the long term.
7. Promotes Healthy Digestion
Olive oil is traditionally known for supporting a healthy digestive system as it can stimulate the production of bile and pancreatic hormones, which aid in digestion.
Moreover, the anti-inflammatory effects of our oils help soothe the digestive tract, making it an ideal addition to a gut-friendly diet.
8. Strengthens the Immune System
The health benefits of our high polyphenol olive oil also include enhanced immune support.
Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds strengthen the body's natural defences against illness and infection.
By choosing our carefully curated cold-pressed oils, you are providing your body with the nutrients it needs to maintain a resilient immune system.
9. Balances Blood Sugar Levels
Including our premium olive oil in your diet can contribute to better blood sugar control.
Studies have found that olive oil can help regulate insulin sensitivity and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
A drizzle of our high-quality San Giuliano brand olive oil over your meals could make a meaningful difference to your overall metabolic health and improve the taste of any dish with its unmatched flavour.
10. Enhances Skin Health
Finally, the health benefits of cold-pressed olive oil are not limited to the inside of your body: They extend to your skin as well.
Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, the olive oils we supply could help protect the skin from premature ageing, support hydration, and maintain elasticity.
Whether consumed or applied directly to the skin, our oils can leave your skin glowing and healthy.
