Olive oil
According to a study, people at high risk of heart disease and having followed a Mediterranean diet (rich in cereals, fruits, vegetables) supplemented by the consumption of nuts and at least four tablespoons per day of olive have seen a 30% reduction in the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. Olive oil is a good source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which helps lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The olives themselves, whether green or black, are another source of “good” fat. So add them to your dishes!
