LDL and HDL cholesterol. How does the olive oil help?
It is known fact that there is a direct association between cholesterol and
heart attacks. If you include factors such as hypertension, obesity and smoking,
you could be posing a serious threat to the heart.
The more antioxidant rich food we consume, the lower the level of oxidized LDL
cholesterol into our blood.
Olive oil contains over 600 polyphenols. Most of them act in an antioxidant
manner so they protect the fatty acids of LDL-cholesterol from getting oxidized.
As a result, LDL-choresterol becomes less atherogenic and does not create
atheromas into the coronary vessels. It prevents heart attacks and helps the heart
function well.
There is evidence that by consuming olive oil and following a Mediterranean
diet, it will contribute to lowering blood pressure.

Jesus Christ and the Mediterranean diet
Have you ever wondered what the eating habits were in the time of Jesus? What
did people eat in the 1st century? The Bible provides a lot of nutritional facts of
people’s habits in those days.
Many modern nutritionists from all over the world have studied the New Testament, analyzed the foods that were consumed in the time of Jesus and have tried
to explain why people were not obese, what they ate and how they managed to
have fat-free bodies.
It is a fact that our health is growing worse over the years and this is due to
our poor eating habits. Obesity has become an epidemic disease especially in developed countries.
The American nutritionist, Don Colbert, explains that Jesus consumed a lot of
natural foods (most likely unprocessed) which included a great deal of vegetables and legumes such as beans and lentils. Also, it probably would have included whole wheat bread, lots of fruit, water and red wine. But did he eat any red
meat? According to the Bible, Jesus would have been consuming meat during special occasions.
The Professor of Theology at the University of Oxford studied the holy text for
years to learn all about the eating habits of the 1st century. He claims that in
the Mediterranean basin, people’s eating habits are more or less the same today
as it were back then and they represent what we call the Mediterranean diet. For
this reason, people in those days were healthy, with no cholesterol-related issues
and, within the vast majority, had no traces of fat on their bodies.
In conclusion, we could say that people during the time of Jesus took care of
their diet by eating healthy and moderate meals. Their diet was richly based on
olive oil, fish, vegetables and fruit.
