Gregory Chandler on Olive Oil

OLIVE OIL


I often write about supplementing the diet with oils. Olive oil is a helpful supplement. Olive oil helps the body burn fat, optimize metabolism and improve oxidative stress on the heart. These health benefits are published in the October 2010 issue of Nutrition Journal. Researchers suggest that olive oil's phenolic compounds, specifically oleuropein and caffeic acid may be responsible for the mentioned health benefits.
