Health benefits of Greek olive oil

Besides its delicious taste, olive oil is a natural panacea and has many positive effects on our health. The cholesterol-lowering effect due to the many vitamins and monounsaturated fats in the oil makes olive oil lower the risk of heart disease. Besides lowering blood pressure, it is nutritious because of its many antioxidants and vitamins (E and K). With weight loss in mind, olive oil is therefore a good choice as it is a healthier alternative compared to other oils and fats.
