Extra Virgin olive oil contains numerous phenolic compounds that exert potent anti-inflammatory actions. Of interest to this paper is the recently discovered phenolic compound oleocanthal. Oleocanthal is contained in virgin olive oil and possesses similar anti-inflammatory properties to ibuprofen.
Molecular mechanisms of inflammation. Anti-inflammatory benefits of virgin olive oil and the phenolic compound oleocanthal
Clogged arteries result from the build-up of a substance called plaque in the arterial walls. It is also medically referred to as arterial plaque. This plaque can reduce blood flow or even block it altogether.
Clogged arteries increase your risk of developing other health complications like a heart attack or stroke.
Some of the most common risk factors for clogged arteries are:
High levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) or low levels of HDL (good cholesterol)
A high blood pressure
Smoking tobacco
Diabetes or elevated blood sugar levels
A family history of atherosclerosis or clogged arteries
Stress
Obesity
A sedentary lifestyle
Most cases of clogged arteries do not exhibit any symptoms until a heart attack or blood clot presents itself. However, in cases where 70% or more of the arteries are blocked, you will notice the following symptoms.
Severe cases of clogged arteries may exhibit symptoms like:
Shortness of breath
Sweating
Nausea
Chest pain or angina
Palpitations of the heart
Dizziness
Weakness

00:00Here is extra virgin olive oil, and here is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.
00:07This is a leaf, but Motrin and Advil are also non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
00:15I'm going to come back to this in just a few minutes.
00:19I first want you to understand the powerful healing medicinal properties
00:24of what extra virgin olive oil can do for you.
00:28Extra virgin olive oil will improve your cholesterol levels.
00:32It's rich in monounsaturated fats.
00:34It helps increase levels of your good cholesterol, your HDLs,
00:38and lowers your bad cholesterol, your LDLs.
00:42It's your LDL cholesterol that leads to plaque buildup in your arteries,
00:45which increases the risk of heart disease.
00:48And by improving your cholesterol levels,
00:50olive oil will help maintain the health of your arteries.
00:54Extra virgin olive oil also protects you against oxidative stress.
00:59It has vitamin E and polyphenols,
01:01and these antioxidants help protect the cell linings of your arteries,
01:05which can cause damage and contribute to the development of atherosclerosis,
01:09which is hardening of the arteries.
01:11And extra virgin olive oil also enhances your endothelial function.
01:15That's the inner lining of your blood vessels, including the arteries.
01:19An improved endothelial function helps regulate blood pressure,
01:22blood clotting, and overall vascular health.
01:26Now, here's what's important.
01:28Extra virgin olive oil has oleocanthal.
01:31It's a powerful natural antioxidant that reduces inflammation.
01:35This inhibits enzymes in the body that produces inflammation.
01:40And the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Aleve, Motrin, and Advil
01:45also inhibit enzymes that produce inflammation.
01:48The difference is, this is dangerous, and this is healthy.
01:53And what is so important about non-steroidal anti-inflammatories?
01:56They affect the kidney.
01:58If you have any type of kidney problems, kidney disease,
02:01this can cause a significant, serious problem
02:05that you really need to be concerned about.
02:08Also, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Aleve, Motrin, and Advil
02:12also cause gastrointestinal problems as well,
02:15to your stomach as well as your intestines.
02:17Remember, ibuprofen is your Advil and Motrin.
02:22Naproxen is your Aleve.
02:24And every problem, disease, pathology in our body that goes on
02:29is all going to have inflammation.
02:31If it's heart disease, inflammation within the arteries
02:33that can cause that clogging of the arteries,
02:36diabetes, which is high blood sugar, cancer,
02:40we have autoimmune diseases, or any other problem that goes on.
02:45Yes, even conditions related to the joints that have inflammation
02:48is going to cause pain and dysfunction.
02:50Ibuprofen has been comparable when it comes to the oleocanthal
02:54that's already natural in extra virgin olive oil.
02:58So the question here is that by taking a tablespoon or two tablespoons a day,
03:03either in a tablespoon and swallowing it down,
03:06or in your food throughout the day,
03:09that would be your best option.
03:11Because if you can use a fly swatter to take care of the problem,
03:15rather than a sledgehammer to cause more problems,
03:18this may be the first way to go.
03:23That's my opinion, although I want you to be aware
03:27that all drugs have side effects.
03:29And if you're taking these drugs with other medications,
03:32that can even make it worse.
03:34Just remember the powerful healing effects of extra virgin olive oil,
03:39not only for your pain and inflammation,
03:41but for your heart, your arteries, your cholesterol,
03:45your immune system, your brain, your liver,
03:49and all other organs as well.
03:52I hope that this video serves you well.
