Olive Oil
High-quality olive oil, cold-pressed and labeled extra virgin, is the key ingredient behind the popular Mediterranean diet. It’s not only because it’s fruity, nutty and decadently unctuous, but because it’s quite healthy.
Oleocanthal, a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, can be as powerful as modern anti-inflammatory compounds like ibuprofen.
On top of that, the mono-unsaturated fats that make olive oil will clear your arteries and reduce blood pressure, therefore, inflammation.
