Anti-Inflammatory Food #3: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Our use of olive oil predates even the ancient Romans and has found its way into kitchens all over the world. It comes from directly squeezing the oils out from olives which are found naturally occurring in the Mediterranean basin and has a range of other uses in addition to cooking. It also holds anti-inflammatory properties.
Extra virgin olive oil is the purest form of olive oil and holds more health benefits than other varieties. It is high in anti-inflammatory polyphenols and is also high in vitamins A, E and D. The oil is also thought to help protect people from Alzheimer’s, heart disease and depression and can also help to slow the effects of aging.
