Corresponding research has proven that olive oil, due to its monounsaturated oleic acid content, controls the level of cholesterol in the blood by improving the level of HDL lipoprotein, and consequently the metabolism of this substance, which is the main cause of heart disease.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the <a title=\"Propriedades organol\u00e9pticas do azeite\" href=\"\/pt\/olive-oil-properties-ingredients-and-types-of-olive-oil\/\">Propriedades organol\u00e9pticas do azeite<\/a> make it easily digestible by the body and the most suitable fat for eating with beneficial effects on the stomach.<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish <b>Interprofessional Olive Oil Organization<\/b> supports experts and researchers in order to highlight the health-protective effect of olive oil on the human body. Spanish researchers, among them doctors, are seeking to make olive oil more known to the general public, as many people are not aware of the beneficial effects of olive oil. Through the campaign &#8220;For a Lifetime&#8221;, they differentiate the quality categories of olive oil, promote its uses in cooking and nutrition in general and want to convey to the Spanish population the advantages that they will have by following a <a title=\"Cretan Diet - Mediterranean Diet\" href=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/pt\/cretan-diet\/\">Dieta Mediterr\u00e2nea<\/a> in which olive oil will be the main source of fats.<\/p>\n<p>As they argue, a small percentage of people follow the Mediterranean Diet, so it is considered necessary to spread the scientific evidence that exists about the benefits of olive oil and how people with cardiovascular problems can be helped by its use. Specifically, from the <a title=\"CORDIOPREV study\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(22)00122-2\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CORDIOPREV study<\/a> (2022) it appears that cardiovascular patients who follow a Mediterranean Diet rich in <a title=\"azeite extra virgem\" href=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/pt\/premium-products\/\">azeite extra virgem<\/a> have up to 30% less chance of their disease recurring compared to those who follow a healthy diet but low in &#8220;good&#8221; fats.<br \/><br \/>Olive oil is characterized as a &#8220;dietary jewel&#8221;, which lowers blood pressure, helps prevent diabetes, <a title=\"increases good cholesterol and lowers bad cholesterol\" href=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/pt\/olive-oil-reduces-cholesterol-how-use-of-olive-oil-lowers-cholesterol\/\">increases good cholesterol and lowers bad cholesterol<\/a>, conditions that are closely related to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, it has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, which mitigates chronic diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, as well as cancer.<br \/><br \/>Even in sports, the effect of olive oil is important because it is one of the best fats one can consume, with its anti-inflammatory action helping endurance sports (cycling, jogging, etc.) as well as strength sports.<\/p>\n<h2>READ MORE REGARDING THE BENEFITS OF USING OLIVE OIL:<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Maior consumo de azeite associado a menor risco de morte prematura\" href=\"\/pt\/higher-olive-oil-consumption-linked-with-lower-risk-of-premature-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Maior consumo de azeite associado a menor risco de morte prematura<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/pt\/the-health-benefits-of-extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9814\"><strong>Benefits of Olive Oil to human health &#8211; an extended article and source of info on the subject of Olive Oil consumption and Health Benefits<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"11 Proven Benefits of Olive Oil -\u00a0 Olive oil offers health benefits as it is high in healthy monosaturated fats and antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/11-proven-benefits-of-olive-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11 Proven Benefits of Olive Oil &#8211;\u00a0 Olive oil offers health benefits as it is high in healthy monosaturated fats and antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Nutri\u00e7\u00e3o infantil: o azeite extra virgem \u00e9 adequado para a dieta de beb\u00eas e crian\u00e7as?\" href=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/pt\/baby-nutrition-is-extra-virgin-olive-oil-suitable-for-babies-kids-diet\/\"><strong>Baby Nutrition: is Extra Virgin Olive Oil suitable for Babies &amp; Kids Diet?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greek-olives-grove-1080x420-1.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greek-olives-grove-1080x420-1.webp 1080w, https:\/\/critida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greek-olives-grove-1080x420-1-300x117-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/critida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greek-olives-grove-1080x420-1-1024x398-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/critida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greek-olives-grove-1080x420-1-768x299-1.webp 768w, https:\/\/critida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greek-olives-grove-1080x420-1-18x7-1.jpg 18w\" alt=\"olivais gregos\" width=\"1080\" height=\"420\" \/> Azeite de Oliva no Atacado \u2013 Fornecedores e Distribuidores de Azeite de Oliva no Atacado<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/pt\/bulk-olive-oil-suppliers-evoo-wholesaler\/\" target=\"\"> AZEITE DE OLIVA CRETANA BIO CRITIDA \u2013 Produtores de Produtos Culin\u00e1rios Cretenses Premium: Nossos produtos aliment\u00edcios s\u00e3o EXPORTADOS PARA MAIS DE 40 PA\u00cdSES NO MUNDO TODO, desde 1998 \u2013 Junte-se a n\u00f3s! <\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Somos uma empresa familiar com s\u00e9culos de tradi\u00e7\u00e3o (fundada em 1912) na produ\u00e7\u00e3o de azeite extra virgem na ilha de Creta, na Gr\u00e9cia.
