    Hi Ritu . Medical studies suggest that olive oil is loaded with health benefits.
    Health benefits of olive oil include the lowering of the bad cholesterol level in our blood, as it is rich in monounsaturated fat substance. The extra virgin type olive oil contains the highest level of antioxidant polyphenols and oleic acid. Olive oil is thus a healthy option to other vegetable oils. But, as olive oil also has lots of calories, it should be used in moderate amounts for best health results. The Food and Drug Administration recommends 2 tablespoon olive oil everyday to reduce the risk of heart diseases.
