Elderly people who consume olive oil are less likely to have strokes

Elderly people who consume olive oil are less likely to have strokes

A study conducted by the University of Bordeaux and the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in France and published in the journal Neurology suggests that consumption of olive oil can help prevent stroke In order to reach this conclusion, the researchers observed the medical records of 7625 people aged 65 years or more from three cities in France: Bordeaux, Dijon and Montpellier. None had a history of stroke. The consumption of extra virgin olive oil was categorized as "no use", "moderate use" - the use of olive oil only for cooking, seasoning or with bread - and "heavy use."

After just over five years of the beginning of the analysis, there were 148 strokes occurring. When considering diet, physical activity, body mass index, and other risk factors for stroke, scholars found that those who regularly used olive oil for cooking and seasoning were 41 percent less likely to have a stroke, when compared to those who never used olive oil. Only 1.5% of the elderly who consumed olive oil had the accident, compared to 2.6% of those who never consumed it.

In previous studies, olive oil has also been associated with the prevention of many cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes , high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity.

What is special about olive oil?

The nutritional and therapeutic properties of olive oil have been demonstrated in many scientific studies. There is much evidence that this type of fat can have beneficial effects in preventing cardiovascular disease and cancer, especially unrefined or virgin olive oil.

It is virtually free of saturated fat and contains, in addition to the typical monounsaturated fat present in all types of olive oil, high concentrations of vitamin E, beta carotene and polyphenols, explains the endocrinologist and nutróloga Ellen Simone Paiva. Among the olive oils found in supermarkets, those produced by direct prey or centrifugation are said to be virgin or extravirgin and are distinguished by their high content of polyphenols (150 to 350mg / kg) compared to refined oils which, although they are also sources of monounsaturated fats, are poor in polyphenols.

Olive oil can be used at room temperature, as it can be heated in cooked foods. It's just not worth frying or abusing high temperatures, because the higher the heat, the greater the losses of its beneficial compounds. Despite so many benefits, olive oil is as calorific as lard. Provides 9 calories per gram of the product and can add many calories to a person's menu, making your plans to achieve or maintain an ideal weight unfeasible.
