Olive Oil in Diet better then Whole Grain Bread
For those who want to live a healthy lifestyle, new research has
shown that the daily use of Olive Oil in your meal is especially
beneficial. In fact the use of Olive Oil seems to be even more
beneficial then eating an extra slice of whole wheat bread. This
is the outcome of research by members of the John Hopkins
University on a comparison between three "health diets".
An Olive Oil rich diet lowers the blood pressure and the
Cholesterol level much more then a carbohydrate rich diet.
Compared to a protein rich food an olive oil rich diet is easier
to digest.
Scientists from the John Hopkins University have researched the
DASH-diet. (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension). This diet
has been developed a few years ago to aid people with high blood
pressure problems. The researchers have compared DASH to two
alternative diets and have published their conclusion in the
Journal of the American Medical Association
The DASH diet contains a lot of carbohydrates. You eat muesli
for breakfast, whole grain bread for lunch and pasta for dinner.
This is combined with fish, chicken and nuts and olive
oil
The other two diets tested are a protein rich and a carbohydrate
rich variation of the DASH diet, but with no olive oil.
All three diets did lower blood pressure and cholesterol
significantly but the diet that contained the olive oil stood
out as the most effective. It lowered blood pressure and
cholesterol just a bit more. And these factors are an important
determinant of the long-term onset of cardiovascular disease.
All participants in the research reported that it was fairly
easy to comply with each of these diets. But the participants in
the protein rich variety complained more often about digestive
problems and as a result of that they tended to be less
physically active then the control group.
So this is an outcome that supports the Mediterranean Diets with
their high Fish (Omega 3 fatty acids) and Olive Oil content even
more.
