THE HEALTH BENEFITS
OF MANAKI EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Extra virgin olive oil is renowned all over the world for its exquisite taste and characteristics. However, its more impressive properties are not apparent. Simply put, extra virgin olive oil consumption is a natural immune system booster, a true ally for better health in the form of liquid gold. Scientific research has proven that:

Oleocanthal, the type of natural phenolic compound found in extra virgin olive oil, has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help in alleviating joint and muscle pains. These studies have shown that people who regularly consume olive oil experience less pain than people who don’t.
Due to its high mono-unsaturated fats content, extra virgin olive oil can help in slowing down or reducing mental fatigue, a condition that is associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s.
Olive oil’s role in cancer prevention has been the subject of various studies, with a recent one stating that people who use olive oil in their diets showcase lower incidences of cancer. Olive oil’s anti-cancer properties can be attributed to its high oleic acid content and the fact that it also contains antioxidants, flavonoids, polyphenols and squalene, ingredients whose benefits have also been studied in relation to their role in reducing cancer risk.
