• Olive oil offers protection against heart disease by controlling LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels while raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels.

• • It is a natural antioxidant that slows down the natural ageing process. The powerful antioxidants protect us from damage caused by free radical oxidation, which may accelerate the ageing process.
