Please let me know how your experience with olive oil works out. I have arterial sclerosis, and worry about adding any additional fat to my system.

Hi, sbranen -
EVOO apparently make blood veins more supple and helps control cholesterol among other wonderful things. You should read everything you can get your hands on about what EVOO does. The good sources, of course, are Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and Harvard Medical. There are tons of others. My Blood draw is in late September. Will wrote a post about it here, when I get the results in Oct. There is a lot of contention in the medical community about statins and whether they actually postpone death. Some doctors believe other issues contributing to death trump high cholesterol. Go figure! More later.... d.
EVOO Fux Pas -
UH, OH!!! I’ve been sabotaging myself
Using Crescents to sop up my EVOO.
Each crescent has 250 calories, but that’s
Not the worst of it. Saturated fat is 35% Oooooops!
I can’t believe I did such a stupid thing that may
have messed up an entire month of being so
careful with my diet and using EVOO (sigh).
(It sure was delicious though!!! Those crescents are
Addictive! 🙂
I took 1 tbsp. of EVOO + Balsamic Vinegar this a.m. minus the
Crescent. It was fine. I didn’t think I could do that!
Skipping all bread is really good!
6 days till blood draw – perhaps my EVOO can
overcome my mistake and save my experience in
the next 6 days. I hope so!
We’ll see. 😊
Stayed tuned for more adventures with Donna hahahahahaha!

Olive oil is good for you due to several health benefits:
Rich in Healthy Fats: It contains mostly monounsaturated fats, which are linked to lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and reduced blood pressure.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Olive oil has strong anti-inflammatory effects, which can help protect against chronic diseases.
-Heart Health: It supports heart health by improving cholesterol levels and may help prevent strokes.
-Antioxidants: Olive oil is rich in antioxidants, which can help combat oxidative stress and support overall health.
-Cognitive Function: Some studies suggest that olive oil may support cognitive function and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
These benefits make olive oil a valuable addition to a healthy diet.
