How does Olive Oil help with inflammation?

[@kitoomehta8452]

I have been taking Organic Extra Virgin Olive oil from a long time and I have survived a couple of MI’S as well as a triple bypass however today I am stronger than when I was in my twenty’s I gulp the oil and do strength as well as HIIT training 5 to 6 days a week then I hike the forested and mountainous terrain at times for 12 miles here in Oregon and olive oil with lemons and home maid greens juices are a way to go for me from 234 lbs I have dropped down to 179 and I am fairly muscular. I am not afraid of hiking alone and the scar on my chest from the heart surgery tells me that I have lived and I am living a focused and peaceful life in harmony 🙏

Should a person take olive oil with fish oil?,

[@jamesmarshall3311]

Make sure only extra virgin olive from a well known brand, and same for fish oil. I take both, but separately.

While I would agree there are beneficial ingredients in olive oil I think its concerning that the omega ratio of olive oil is high in omega-6s vs omega-3s, as other doctors have pointed out, the benefit people are seeing are from the Mediterranean diet itself not necessarily the olive oils. Vegetables have omega-3 ALA, which are converted into DHA/EPA which is ultimately what the body really needs high amounts of, if the omega-6s ratio becomes higher than the omega-3 ratio overtime this can push inflammation. I would also stress not to cook with these oils, they do not do well for anyone under heat. I also wouldn't consume anything that is GMO or that contains glyphosate considering the long history and patents linking these chemicals to major health problems. From omega-6s the body converts into mostly pro-inflammatory lipids, whereas omega-3s are converted into mostly anti-inflammatory lipids. By the way 53.7% of the adult population in Greece are overweight, I don't believe the copious amounts of olive oil are doing them any favors. Olive Oil is not Healthy by Dr. Michael Klaper M.D. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXiqgquAgdqJoMk Omega Ratio of common Oils www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3971029/ There are an abundance of research quotes in this pdf : inflammation {D0T} life

Olive oil has reduced my C.. reactive protien by 50%...

[@amarali1440]

Trust me u need omega 6 rather then omega 3

[@thatonesnowboarde]

@@amarali1440 I would disagree you should have a balance .. from omega 6 they convert to mostly pro-inflammatory lipids and omega 3 convert to mostly anti-inflammatory lipids .. consuming too much Omega 6 will eventually lead to over production of pro-inflammatory lipids

You are very wrong. Olive oil is low in omega 6 fatty acids. Its only high in omega 6 if it's cut with seed oils..which does happen..unless you get real Italian olive oil. Seed oils were never eaten until the 1920s. At that time, camcer, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders were. Unheard of mostly. Most ppl were either healthy as a horse...or had a viral or bacterial infection. Nobody's body was turning on the and making them sick for NO APPARENT REASON, until the aha and nhs started giving diet recommendations endorsed by crisco and other big Food players. Animal fats and olive oil was replaced by seed oils in everything. If you eat an olive. You wont get sick. If you eat an animal you won't. If you eat a cottonseed or a rapeseed or any seed that oils are made from, it will poison you. Now common sense tells me that longterm exposure to seed oils that are made from poisonous seeds, refined and processed, then heated, disinfected and deodorizer and HIGH I omega 6 are terrible for humans. You add all the fake ingredients, plastic exposure, endocrine disrupting chemicals everywhere and you have a perfect storm. As I look around at ppl in public, 80 percent are chronically ill, morbidly obese, unintelligent, or dying of cancer. Eat like a man did in 1850s, and you won't get sick. I have went om a whole food diet. Most of my problems are gone. Except I have a chronic bacterial infection. And anytime I eat anything no on my diet,I get sick throwing up, and feel terrible. I eat grass-fed beef,butter, grass mill, fruits, and very little vegeyables,vegetables, like carrots and broccoli. Never eat grains. Grains are for fattening up livestock to feed poor people. Thats it. Nothing good cones from the shit that most ppl and most vegans eat.

@@RobertReynolds-mg9bb ok well once you heat up the oil... good luck with that. i tend to stick to coconut oil and avoid frying... I will bake without oil. I will listen to the medical doctors who have given good reasons to avoid consuming olive oil despite the source

[@dnnrod1807]

how can olive oil be good for inflammation when 1 tablespoon contains 14 grams of fat but more importantly it has saturated fat??

[@jamesmarshall3311]

Healthy saturated fat is excellent for health in the right quantities. Its trans fat like you find in margarine, cookies, cakes, even some cooking oils that need to be avoided.
