How does EVOO help to maintain youth?
Science confirms what our grandmothers already intuited when they sprinkled the salad with a good splash of olive oil:
- Good” fat for your cells. EVOO is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic). This type of fat protects cell membranes and maintains their elasticity, helping tissues to function like clockwork even over the years.
- Metabolic fuel. It provides stable energy and prevents glucose spikes and crashes. A balanced metabolism is key to maintaining muscle and maintaining a healthy weight as we age.
- Brain ally. Several studies link the regular consumption of EVOO with better cognitive function and lower risk of neurodegenerative deterioration. In Almazara Artal we already counted it among our 12 outstanding benefits – the oil favors “the birth of new neurons” and helps prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
- Cardiovascular protection. By increasing HDL (“good” cholesterol) and reducing systemic inflammation, EVOO takes care of arteries and heart, an essential basis for reaching old age in top shape.
Here’s a tip! Substitute margarine for two tablespoons of EVOO a day. Your palate will thank you and your body too.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of extra virgin olive oil
The real heroes of EVOO are its polyphenols (oleocanthal, oleuropein or hydroxytyrosol) and vitamin E. Together they form a shield against free radicals, those unstable molecules that “oxidize” our body inside and out.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”post-txt-arta-1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_2_text_color=”#415544″ header_2_font_size=”18px” header_4_font=”||||on||||” header_4_text_color=”#415544″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
Antioxidants that slow down time
- Neutralize free radicals: they delay lipid peroxidation, a process responsible for premature skin aging and internal cell damage.
- Regenerate the skin barrier: being liposoluble, they penetrate the epidermis and reinforce its barrier function, resulting in a luminous and uniform appearance.
- Protect DNA: some polyphenols stimulate repair enzymes that maintain genetic integrity, key to longevity.
Natural anti-inflammatory power
- Oleocanthal acts similarly to ibuprofen, inhibiting the COX enzyme responsible for inflammation and joint pain.
- Lowering chronic low-grade inflammation reduces the risk of age-related ailments such as cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes or certain cancers.
How to take advantage of its full potential?
- Always choose extra virgin of first cold extraction, like the ones you can buy in our online store of extra virgin olive oil. This way, they preserve more polyphenols.
- Store it in a cool, dark place, as light and heat degrade its antioxidants.
- Add it raw to hot dishes, it enhances flavor and keeps its properties intact.

Healthy aging of skin and organs
The passage of time is inevitable, but how we live it depends largely on our habits. One of the most valuable allies for healthy aging can be found in the Mediterranean diet, and more specifically in extra virgin olive oil. This liquid treasure not only enhances our dishes, but also provides benefits that help maintain the vitality of the skin, organs and vital functions as the years go by.
Incorporating it into our daily diet is a simple and natural way to take care of the body from the inside, favoring a slower, more balanced and full of well-being aging.

Younger and more elastic skin
EVOO deeply moisturizes and reinforces the natural lipid film. Its essential fatty acids nourish the dermis, while vitamin E fights photoaging caused by UV rays. It is no coincidence that many cosmetic companies formulate serums and soaps with olive oil.
Heart and blood vessels “in shape”.
Polyphenols improve endothelial function (the inner layer of the vessels), promoting smooth circulation and lowering blood pressure. The result is a lower risk of heart attack and stroke as we age.
Protected brain and awakened mind
By decreasing inflammation and brain oxidative stress, EVOO helps maintain memory and mental alertness. Studies in animal models show how it can “eliminate beta-amyloid plaques” associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Strong bones
Olive oil favors the absorption of calcium and magnesium; together with exercise and a balanced diet, it contributes to prevent osteoporosis, providing elasticity and bone density.
