Why Extra Virgin Olive Oil May Protect Your Arteries

In this video, I take a closer look at extra virgin olive oil and why I believe it deserves more attention when it comes to heart health. I explain how the polyphenols found in extra virgin olive oil may help reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, and oxidized LDL, all of which can play a role in cardiovascular disease. I also review research looking at extra virgin olive oil in both people at high risk for heart disease and those who already have cardiovascular disease. I’ll show you why extra virgin olive oil is different from regular refined olive oil, what I look for when choosing a high-polyphenol olive oil, and how I recommend using it as part of a heart-healthy diet.
