Why Olive Oil Wins Over Refined Oils

1. Packed with Healthy Antioxidants

One of the best things about olive oil is that it is choc-a-bloc with antioxidants. These are vitamins and other nutrients that protect your child’s cells from damage and build his immunity. Unlike many refined oils that are rich only in polyunsaturated fatty acids, olive oil is rich in polyphenols. They also act as anti-inflammatory nutrients – a double whammy for your growing child!

2. Helps Prevent and Guard Against Cancer

In these difficult times, when our lifestyles and eating habits have been linked to cancer, olive oil can put your mind at rest. Ongoing research has proved that the polyphenols in olive oil lower our risk of cancer. This is because cancer is often triggered by damage to cell structure and inflammation – something that olive oil fights against.

3. Improves Cognitive Skills in Children

In their growing years, kids can do with all the help they find! What if your cooking oil could help boost their cognitive development? Well, experts believe that olive oil is linked to visual memory and verbal fluency in kids. What’s more, if you pick up a brand like Colavita, there’s the perfect balance of fruity and spicy flavors too. Absolute kids’ favorite material for the pasta and pizzas so predominant in Italian cuisine!

4. Reduces Cholesterol Levels & Prevents Obesity

Even when we are talking about kids, obesity is a very palpable and real risk. Not only does this hamper your child’s self-esteem but also his long-term health. Olive oil, which contains far less fat than your average refined oil, can help you out here. Almost 75% of the fat in olive oil comes from oleic acid. This is a monounsaturated, omega-9 fatty acid that has been linked to a reduction in bad cholesterol.

5. Keeps Blood Pressure in Control

In what is an alarming situation, kids are now increasingly prone to blood pressure problems even at a young age. Research has connected this to an unhealthy lifestyle and diet. This is an abundant reason to consider making the switch to olive oil, which has been proven to regulate blood pressure and maintain overall circulatory health.
