One of the most important foods in the Mediterranean diet is olive oil. But not just any olive oil, only the best quality: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).
But many people skimp on this part of the Mediterranean diet, thinking they'll gain weight if they have too much. Or they think experts are fibbing when they say it contains a good fat and it won't lead to higher cholesterol levels.
This is far from the truth!
A study shows that even a very high intake of extra virgin olive oil like ten teaspoons or 50g won't make you gain weight or raise your cholesterol levels.
And that means you can take full advantage of its heart health benefits in your diet!

If you don't sort this problem out, it'll lead to
heart disease and there's no going back from that!
And that's why EVOO should be an essential part of your diet
