Extra virgin olive oil is a staple of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, and it’s no surprise why. It contains oleocanthal, a compound that has been shown to work similarly to ibuprofen, reducing inflammation in the body. Regular consumption of olive oil can lower CRP levels and help protect against cardiovascular disease. Drizzle it over salads, use it for cooking, or dip your bread in it for a simple and effective way to fight inflammation with every meal.
