Mahak Olive Oil
Scientific research has indicated olive oil can assist in the fight against heart disease, cancer, and diabetes and, most recently, Alzheimer’s. And, olives can be an important crop for the environment, particularly in areas with limited water resources.
As a food, olive oil is an essential component of the Mediterranean diet with health benefits from its antioxidants, as well as the type of fat for which it is a source.
Extra virgin olive oil has been shown to be effective against some types of cancers, “possibly on account of its antioxidant properties attributable both to oleic acid itself and to the presence of other nutrients, such as vitamin E and polyphenols.
Olive oil is also known as one of the best sources of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), which have been found to lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and may help normalize blood clotting. And some research shows MUFAs may also benefit insulin levels and blood sugar control, which can be especially helpful for type 2 diabetes.
