You need to be drinking this!

You need to be drinking this.  Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an incredibly powerful natural anti-inflammatory.  It is exactly what nutritionists and immunologists are talking about us needing during this global pandemic.  But it’s not a concocted supplement; it’s a naturally pressed juice with no additives.

By integrating a high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil in to your daily diet, you are setting yourself up in the best possible way.
Check out the nutritionalist Rosemary Ferguson, who has an incredible 14 day anti-inflammatory programme.  Benefits include: improved gut health, clearer skin, improved sleep, increased energy levels, balanced hormones, mental clarity.  This is essential stuff for the autumn and winter ahead.

If you are located stateside, worth investigating Amy Shapiro based out of NYC  or Karyn Forsyth Duggan on the West Coast both of whom offer tailor-made programmes.

Newly pressed extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) was first noticed by US scientist Gary Beauchamp, to induce a strong stinging sensation in the throat, not unlike that caused by solutions of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. We now know from a wide range of evidence that these phenolic compounds (of which there are at least 36 present in EVOO) are endowed with anti-inflammatory magic.  Predominantly, this is thanks to the compound oleocanthal*.  For a more in depth understanding, this article is pretty good: https://olivewellnessinstitute.org/article/oleocanthal-a-phenolic-compound-with-anti-inflammatory-action/

The concentration of oleocanthal varies from one Extra Virgin Olive Oil to another.  The highest values occur in oil where the olives are harvested early.  Certain cultivars also have higher concentrations naturally.  Coratina, Bianchera, Nocellara del Belice and Moraiolo all have particularly high values.  We have put together a selection box of olive oils that focus particularly on high polyphenol levels, it’s called To Your Good Health and it is exactly what you will need this season.
