Including extra virgin olive oil into your diet is enough to significantly reduce high blood pressure, reports a study published in this week’s “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.” The study which investigated the effects of olive oil intake on high blood pressure in 27 thousand women, found a strong protective effect of olive oil on high blood pressure.

Those that consumed the highest levels of olive oil were 50 percent less likely to suffer from high blood pressure over the 7 and a half year follow up period. The researchers explain that olive oil’s high levels of antioxidants and good fats may reduce inflammation –thus turning down the dial on blood pressure. Opt for extra virgin olive oil over standard olive oil as it contains more healthy fats and antioxidants.
