Its ingredients provide the answer. Around 80% of olive oil consists of monounsaturated fatty acids. These are healthy fats that not only lower cholesterol but also improve blood flow. Olive oil itself contains hardly any cholesterol, but it does contain vitamin E, which has an antioxidant effect. While aromatic compounds provide the flavour, antioxidants prevent harmful oxidation processes in the body caused by free radicals.     <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>Virgin olive oil and cholesterol<\/h2>\n<p>Olive oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids. This distinguishes it from seed oils, such as sunflower and safflower oil, which contain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Unlike plant fats, animal fats are rich in saturated fatty acids. Polyunsaturated fatty acids lower total cholesterol.   <\/p>\n<p>The monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil work differently. They lower only \u2018bad\u2019 LDL cholesterol, leaving \u2018good\u2019 HDL cholesterol unaffected. LDL cholesterol is described as \u2018bad\u2019 because it is responsible for deposits in blood vessels. HDL cholesterol helps remove these harmful deposits.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>Valuable polyphenols<\/h2>\n<p>Polyphenols are health-promoting antioxidants found in olive oil. High levels influence the oil\u2019s freshness, flavour, shelf life and pepperiness. Scientific research has shown that the polyphenols in olive oil suppress genes involved in causing inflammation. Olio Nobile oils have a very high polyphenol content compared with conventional olive oils. Under EU requirements, an olive oil must contain at least 250 mg\/kg to qualify as extra virgin. At 400 mg\/kg, Olio Nobile is an outstanding oil. Our high phenolic compound content promotes the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/olio-nobile.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blog-tu-dir-was-gutes-2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olio-nobile.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blog-tu-dir-was-gutes-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/olio-nobile.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blog-tu-dir-was-gutes-2-480x672.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-2644\" title=\"blog-tu-dir-was-gutes-2\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>Olive oil delights more than just<\/h2>\n<p>Its high vitamin E content, together with unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, slows the ageing of skin cells. Olive oil can therefore also be used for skincare. Applied directly after sunbathing, it is also said to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Less is more, however, as too much olive oil can dry out the skin. Olive oil can also benefit the hair. Pure olive oil can be used as a hair treatment and is said to help with an itchy scalp, dandruff and split ends. It leaves hair smoother and shinier, provided it is washed out with a very mild shampoo.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oils contain valuable nutrients such as polyphenols, antioxidants that have a positive effect on health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5994,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-unkategorisiert"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
