Benefit #5: Helps Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints all over the human body, eventually leading to their permanent damage. Nowadays, there are many theories that try to explain how rheumatoid arthritis develops and how it affects the joints, but reactive oxygen species are thought to lead to the destruction of hyaluronic acid and collagen inside the affected joint.
Olive oil when consumed regularly is believed to help treat rheumatoid arthritis by reducing its signs and symptoms, especially pain and morning stiffness.
