Cardiologist Reveals Key to Longevity: Daily Olive Oil Intake Reduces Heart Attack and Dementia Risk
A leading cardiologist, Aurelio Rojas, has highlighted the critical role of extra virgin olive oil in preventing serious health conditions such as heart attacks and dementia. In a recent public address, Dr. Rojas explained that a significant majority of people are not utilizing olive oil correctly, thereby missing out on its profound health benefits. According to Dr. Rojas, consuming at least 15 milliliters (approximately one tablespoon) of extra virgin olive oil daily, preferably raw, can reduce the risk of heart attack by 30% and the risk of death from dementia by 28%. He emphasized that only extra virgin olive oil contains beneficial bioactive compounds like oleocanthal, which has anti-inflammatory effects similar to ibuprofen, and polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that protect arteries from oxidative stress. Dr. Rojas cited multiple important studies, including those from Harvard University and the PREDIMED study, which support these claims. These studies underscore that the direct anti-inflammatory effect on artery walls leads to a lower risk of plaque rupture, infarction, and cognitive decline. He urged the public to ensure they use only extra virgin olive oil and consume it raw to maximize its protective properties for both heart and brain health.
