Health Benefits of Cretan Olive Oil
"Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food" Hippocrates
Apart from its exquisite flavor, medical studies have documented the great importance of olive oil to health and longevity of life. This mainly applies to extra virgin olive oil.
Its therapeutic and beneficial attributes have been known and respected for thousands of years. Recent scientific studies have recognized the Cretan diet as one of the healthiest worldwide.
Needless to say, Cretan Oil, which is rich in non-saturated fatty acids, is the main reason for this recognition.
Simply put, olive oil decreases the risk of heart disease by lowering LDL (“bad” cholesterol) which is responsible for the creation of fat deposits in the arteries. However, our olive oil does not affect HDL (“good” cholesterol) which works to reduce fat deposits which may have already developed.
Cretan Olive Oil helps to regulate the metabolism and the development of the brain and bones in children, and is also a good source of Vitamin E for adults and children. As a natural antioxidant, our olive oil slows down the biological ageing process. It also reduces the over production of acids in the digestive systems, therefore reducing the appearance of ulcers and other gastroenteritis problems.
Let Cretan Olive Oil became your "elixir of life"!
