- Acute inflammation, which usually occurs in a short period of time, is a beneficial condition that helps to return your body to its healthiest state, but only if it does not last long… Chronic inflammation, which lasts for a long time, is mostly related to disorders in the immune system, intense stress, and diseases that reduce it from strength.

. - Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is obtained without the use of any heat or chemicals that violate the integrity of the olive. Extra virgin olive oil has many benefits, including improving heart health, regulating brain function, and anti-cancer benefits.
. - In addition, extra virgin cold pressed olive oil is also more heat resistant because it is rich in saturated fat and monounsaturated fatty acids. Well, what does this mean?
. - Harmful components formed with heating, get into the body through breathing during cooking and with cooked food, creating a carcinogenic effect.
. - In other words, the higher the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the fat content, the faster and more effective the oxidation will be.
. - Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is also rich in oleic acid, and studies have shown that it reduces inflammation.
. - It is stated that the strong antioxidant effect of the ‘oleocanthal’ substance, which occurs naturally in cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, may also be beneficial on cancer genes.
