“Research suggests that olive oil exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties, likely due to its high polyphenolic content. The European Food Safety Authority claims that olive oil helps reduce LDL cholesterol.”

“Nutrition experts have long known that olive oil, which is rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds, provides protection against cardiovascular disease. But a recent review suggests that the beneficial effects of olive oil extend to maternal and fetal health, too.”

“They also had less microbial dysbiosis. These findings suggest that omega-3s reduce the symptoms associated with oral mucositis. These effects may be due to omega-3 fatty acids' potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties.”

“Flavonoids are bioactive compounds found in many fruits and vegetables. Evidence suggests they exert a wide range of beneficial effects in humans, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and lipid-lowering activities, as well as counteracting insulin resistance.”

“These findings suggest that olive oil reduces the risk of early death from all causes, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. The polyphenols in olive oil exert potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects.”

“Honey is a complex mixture of sugars, enzymes, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and other bioactive substances that exert antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiseptic effects in humans. Evidence suggests that honey benefits cardiovascular, metabolic, neurologic, and gastrointestinal health.”

“Taxifolin is a naturally occurring compound found in a variety of edible plants. Also known as dihydroquercetin, taxifolin is chemically related to quercetin. Evidence suggests that taxifolin exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties.”

“However, okra, a vegetable rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, may help counteract these harmful effects. A recent study found that rats overfed during infancy became obese and glucose intolerant, but those fed an okra-enriched diet avoided these issues entirely.”

“Researchers gave male mice melatonin, ramelteon (a drug that activates melatonin receptors), and AMK (a melatonin metabolite) to assess their effects on memory formation while completing a task involving recognizing new objects.”

“These findings suggest that eating olive oil markedly reduces the risk of death from dementia. Olive oil contains healthy fats and polyphenols—bioactive compounds with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Learn more about polyphenols in our overview article.”
