Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil provides oleic acid and polyphenols that support inflammation balance. Clinical studies link olive oil–rich diets to lower CRP and inflammatory biomarkers, with oleocanthal showing NSAID-like activity.
Extra virgin olive oil supports vascular health while reducing inflammatory signaling, making it a foundational fat for long-term inflammation management.
Extra virgin olive oil is a core component of Mediterranean dietary patterns associated with lower inflammation and cardiovascular risk. It contains oleic acid and polyphenols including oleocanthal, which inhibits COX enzymes. Clinical studies show approximately three tablespoons daily can reduce CRP. Olive oil improves endothelial function and lipid profiles. Choose extra virgin varieties, store properly, and use for dressings or low-to-moderate heat cooking to preserve benefits.
