Salad & Its Increased Benefits With Organic Olive Oil

By Katie Onson


There are various names to consider when it comes to salad dressing, some which are healthier than others. Thousand Island dressing is one such name to consider and types like French and Italian are commonplace as well. However, when items like these are viewed as unhealthy, there may be other alternatives to look to. Organic olive oil can be used for this purpose but the benefits associated with this product, in relation to salad, are more than worth learning about.

According to a report published on the Telegraph, salad decorated with organic olive oil can pose a number of benefits. Reputable authorities the likes of Bellucci Premium can tell you about how one's heart health can be made better if this type of oil is taken into the body. What about the presence of good fats, in this oil, that can work with the body in order to limit the amounts of negative fats and cholesterol? While these are some of the more common benefits, one of the lesser-known ones is actually tied to air pollution.

The report detailed that ingesting an equivalent of two thirds of a teaspoon of organic olive oil can actually reduce the negative impact that air pollution can have on the heart. This is especially important when considering how air pollution can impact not only humans but animals and plant life as well. There are certain short-term affects to consider, such as irritation to the eyes and throat. However, when exposure is too great, humans run the risk of contracting lung cancer in addition to damage done to the brain.

Of course, you may be curious as to what the sources of air pollution are. One of the examples to consider is a running motor; if you are exposed to said motor for extensive lengths of time, the air around you runs the risk of becoming tainted. The burning of fossil fuels can create air pollution as well, which means that places like factories serve as hotbeds for this. In order to reduce the impact of air pollution, on you, aspects like diet are more than worth improving.

Hopefully these points will be able to help you better understand why it's important to take in organic olive oil. It can be argued that the oil itself can be taken into the body on its own without any other foods. However, from what I have seen, many people prefer this type of oil when it is utilized as more of an accent than a standalone food product. Whatever the case may be, the various benefits of this products are tough to overlook.
