Did you know about these Uses for Olive Oil and Olive Oil benefits ?

The Mediterranean diet has long been attributed with longevity, a healthy long life.. Mariam Amash is living proof !

Mariam is the one of the worlds oldest people, born in 1888, of Bedouin descent, into what was then the Ottoman Empire, what is now Northern Israel, she lives in Jisr az-Zarqa, amongst her 400 family members ! Her long years she states are due to drinking a daily glass of olive oil and eating local produce, fruits and vegetables and no alcohol !

Jeanne Calment ,who lived until she was 122. lived her entire life in Arles, France. She attributed her health and fitness - she took up fencing at 85 and continued to ride her bicycle around Arles until she was 100 - to olive oil, pouring it over every meal and also rubbing it into her skin on a daily basis . She lived alone until the age of 110, smoked until she was 117 , as she had done so from her 21st birthday and weekly ate 1kg of dark chocolate !

Olive oil research continues and it is now evident that the polyphenols that olive oil contains do indeed have the ability to stem the effects of the aging process.

The powerful antioxidants contained in olive oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil, have been shown in recent scientific tests (March 2012) carried out at Barcelona Hospital Clinic in the Lipid Unit, to improve cognitive function and possibly prevent neurodegenerative diseases. The study reinforces findings from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden who in 2011 published their findings in the Journal AGE of a 40 year study (H70) which had followed 70 year olds who had maintained a Mediterranean Diet, it concluded that these individuals had gained a 20 percent chance of living longer.

Research at the University of Jaen also discovered in 2011, that olive oil can provide a natural defence against breast cancer. Oleocanthal ,the phytonutrient in olive oil, behaves in the same way as ibuprofen thus reducing inflammation which can lower the risk of breast cancer or its recurrence.

Findings published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2011 also show that the aging process is halted when taking a diet rich in olive oil, demonstrated remarkably by high endothelial repair and greatly improved blood circulation due to reduction of dysfunction and endothelial damage, lessening the chance of a cardiovascular event as arterial function is improved.
