Do you cook with olive oil?
in
Dr. Oz speaks endlessly about the virtues of including olive oil in measured quantities in your daily diet. Olive oil is associated with a variety of health benefits including:
- Lowering risk of heart disease by improving related risk factors
- Normalizing blood clotting
- Possibly moderating insulin levels, resulting in better blood sugar control
You also gain benefits from the substitution of olive oil for other oils in recipes, since you are swapping out one of several oils higher in saturated fat that can cause clogging of the arteries, for the healthier olive oil ingredient. A recent finding suggests that people who frequently cook with olive oil and use this oil in salad dressing recipes are 41% less likely to experience strokes, compared to individuals who don’t regularly use olive oil.
