An Important Component of Olive Oil
We know about the benefits of olive oil for the heart and skin. But there is another important component - hydroxytyrosol. Have you ever heard about its benefits? It is said to be a powerful antioxidant that helps fight inflammation, maintains vascular health, and may even slow down the aging process.
I had never even heard of hydroxytyrosol before, but it also affects health, especially in terms of protecting the heart and blood vessels. They write that it has antioxidant properties, which is good for the skin and helps slow down cell aging. Interestingly, the hydroxytyrosol benefits are only found in extra virgin oil and even a small amount can keep the body in good shape.
