If you regularly eat olive oil, your liver's effect will be reduced even if your liver is in a toxin.

The scientists conducted experiments on mice by dividing the experimental mice into two groups, of which the first group regularly ate foods high in olive oil, the second group ate only normal foods. Both groups were injected with chemicals that were harmful to the liver.

The results then revealed that the liver of the second group of mice was significantly compromised, while the first group's liver was slightly affected.

To understand the effect of specific matter in olive oil on rat liver, scientists extracted the hydrophilic and lipophilic component of olive oil, then fed two groups of rats into two groups of rats. this part.

The results showed that in the case of all rats being injected with chemicals that were harmful to the liver, the liver of rats fed the lipophilic component was greatly compromised, while the liver of mice fed the hydrophilic component which was slightly affected. than.

Scientists believe that the cause of the hydrophilic component in olive oil is beneficial for the liver, most likely because it has an antioxidant effect and can suppress the oxidative effect of toxins on liver cells.

Olive oil has been used by Mediterranean countries for thousands of years. Modern science also has many studies that prove the useful effects of olive oil in anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
