Health Note - Olive Oil-Rich Diet May Extend Lifespan

Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest.... be in health...
3 John 1:2

"The Mediterranean diet is one of the healthy eating plans recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to promote health and prevent chronic disease.
 
This diet is characterized by an abundance of plant foods (fruits, vegetables, cereals, and legumes).


Olive oil is the principle source of fat.

Merely consuming olive oil is not enough to elicit all of the health benefits,” said University of Minnesota’s Professor Doug Mashek, lead author on the study.

The study suggests that when coupled with
---fasting,
---limiting caloric intake and
---exercising,
*the effects of consuming olive oil will be most pronounced."
