https://expose-news.com/2024/04/27/perfect-guide-remove-graphene/ Graphene oxide, a substance that is poisonous to humans, has allegedly been found in the Covid 19 “vaccines”, in the water supply, in the air we breathe through chemtrails, and is even in our food supply. It interacts and is activated by electromagnetic frequencies (“EMF”), specifically the broader range of frequencies found in 5G which can cause even more damage to our health. The symptoms of graphene oxide poisoning and EMF radiation sickness are similar to those symptoms described as Covid. The bad news for those who have so far refused to get a single dose of the Covid-19 injection is that some doctors believe Graphene is being transmitted from the Covid-19 vaccinated to the unvaccinated. But the good news is, now that graphene oxide has been identified as a contaminant, there are ways to remove graphene oxide from your body and restore your health. This is a holistic approach of using several different methods simultaneously for the best effect. Including, specific supplements to degrade the graphene oxide in the body, and controlling EMFs in the environment to minimize graphene oxide activation. This information comes from several sources and is based on scientific studies. Links are referenced below. Understanding Glutathione Glutathione is a substance made from the amino acids: glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is produced naturally by the liver and involved in many processes in the body, including tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and for the immune system.  We have a natural glutathione reserve in our bodies. This is what gives us a strong immune system. When glutathione levels are high in the body, we have no problems and our immune system functions well. But when the amount of graphene oxide in the body exceeds the amount of glutathione, it causes the collapse of the immune system and triggers a cytokine storm. The way that graphene oxide can rapidly grow to exceed glutathione in the body is by electronic excitation.  Meaning, EMF’s that bombard the graphene to oxidise it, which rapidly triggers the disease. At the age of 65 glutathione levels fall drastically in the body. This can explain why the population most affected by Covid-19 are the elderly. Glutathione levels are also very low in people with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, obesity, etc.  Likewise, glutathione levels are very high in infants, children and athletes. This can explain why Covid-19 has not affected these people. Graphene oxide when oxidised or activated by specific EMF frequencies overruns the body’s ability to create enough glutathione, which destroys the immune system and causes the illness.  In events of illness (such as Covid symptoms and all the “variants”) it is necessary to raise glutathione levels in the body in order to cope with the toxin (graphene oxide) that has been introduced or electrically activated. ICU Intubated Covid Patients Healed Within Hours When Treated with Glutathione And NAC, Example from Ricardo Delgado “We have seen clinical trials with hundreds of patients who were in the ICU, on a respirator and intubated, practically on the verge of death. With bilateral pneumonias caused by the spread of graphene oxide and subsequent 5G radiation in the lung plaques. Well, this diffuse stain in these patients is symmetrical, which would not happen with a biological agent since it would be rather asymmetrical, as for example when there is a pneumococcal infection, right? Well, in that case a diffuse stain usually appears in one part of the lung, but not in another, not in both symmetrically. So, when treated with glutathione via direct intravenous —or even orally as well— or with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) 600 mg or higher doses, people within hours began to recover their oxygen saturation” – Ricardo Delgado,  La Quinta Colmuna N-acetylcysteine (“NAC”) is a supplement that causes the body to produce glutathione, it is known as the precursor to glutathione and causes the body to secrete glutathione endogenously, just as it does when you do sports intensely.  NAC comes from the amino acid L-cysteine and is used by the body to build antioxidants. Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage. You can get NAC as a supplement or a prescription drug. Zinc in combination with NAC are essential antioxidants used to degrade graphene oxide. Ricardo Delgado states that with these two antioxidants he has personally helped people affected by magnetism after inoculation.  This is in people with two doses of Pfizer who have become magnetic and after these supplements they no longer have this symptom. Other supplements that can be taken to assist in the removal of graphene oxide are: Astaxanthin Melatonin Milk Thistle Quercetin Vitamin C Vitamin D3 For more information on these supplements for graphene oxide removal please see this LINK. Understanding The Connection Between EMF, 5G, Graphene Oxide, Hydrogels and Covid Graphene oxide is activated by EMF, specifically the frequencies that are part of the 5G spectrum. All materials have what is known as an electronic absorption band. An absorption band is a range of wavelengths, frequencies or energies in the electromagnetic spectrum which are characteristic of a particular transition from initial to final state in a substance. This is a specific frequency above which a substance is excited and oxidises very quickly. Frequencies beamed at human beings that have a build-up of graphene oxide in their body can cause the graphene oxide to multiply very rapidly, breaking the balance of glutathione and causing a cytokine storm in a matter of hours. Graphene oxide is the main ingredient in DARPA patented hydrogels. It is these hydrogels that are in the Covid injections, the PCR test swabs and the masks. A conductive hydrogel is a polymer like material that has substantial qualities and applications. They are developing different kinds of conductive hydrogels that are being used in many things, in our food, our water, and injected into our bodies in vaccines. Conductive hydrogels contain nanotech that locks on to your DNA and can be controlled by 5G sensors. They allow for DNA collection and manipulation. Conductive hydrogels allow for tracking and tracing of human beings. There are thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies and articles discussing conductive hydrogels. We’ve put together a short list of some relative studies as backup documentation. Summary of Hydrogel & Quantum Dot Nanotechnology Characteristics – Click to Download It is from these studies that we can summarise some of the characteristics of conductive hydrogels. Characteristics of conductive hydrogels: self-recoverability, electrical conductivity, transparency, freezing resistance, stretching, self-healing, stimuli responsiveness which means it does certain things when 5G hits it (or other frequencies for that matter). We are surrounded in EMF radiation from cell phones (or mobile phones), TV’s and Wi-Fi. Many areas are also turning on 5G and there have been investigations done showing the correlation between the 5G networks and the Covid outbreaks in an area. To best protect yourself from graphene oxide poisoning and the activation of graphene oxide in your body it is necessary to do several things to limit your EMF exposure. Some suggestions on how to do this include: do not live in a city with a lot of towers if you can help it, turn off your Wi-Fi at night and stay away from smart meters and other smart devices if at all possible. Another option is to use EMF protection products such as orgone energy devices to help transform the EMF radiation to mitigate the harmful effects. Orgone Energy, EMF Protection and Graphene Oxide Since graphene oxide is activated by EMF, you want to create a protective barrier in your immediate environment that mitigates the EMF so that it does not activate the graphene oxide. In the 1930’s a discovery was made that can be applied today to help with EMF protection. During a series of experiments, the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich discovered that living samples placed within containers made from alternating layers of steel and non-conductive organic material were able to harness healthy “cosmic energy” from the environment. He called this energy “orgone.” These orgone accumulators and had the ability to: preserve blood samples for longer periods of time; sprout healthier plant seedlings; and, provide pain relief for his patients who sat inside them. Today, instead of using sheets of steel and plastic we use a composite made from a blend of iron oxide, steel, brass, shungite and crystal powders encased in epoxy resin. The end result is a harmoniser that is able to transform the harmful wireless fields from cell towers, smart meters, smartphones, internet router and your television, into more beneficial energy for you and your plants and pets. The effects of this scientific phenomenon were replicated and well documented in studies done by the University of Pennsylvania and the Heraclitus Microscopic research laboratory. Striking Resemblance of Reich Blood Test to Recent Graphene Oxide EMF Blood Samples The most striking study in light of recent discoveries of graphene oxide can be found in the “Reich Blood Test” performed by the Heraclitus Microscopic Research Laboratory. In this test, they show the effectiveness that orgone energy has on the blood. They took two blood samples and put one in a control box and the other in an orgone energy box. Over time they took microscopic photos of the blood samples and witnessed that the orgone energy sample was able to maintain its life force for a longer period of time (it was like the fountain of youth for blood). When a red blood cell has defects and starts to die, they can develop something called Acanthocyte formation, where multiple spiky like projections of varying lengths protrude from the cell. The pictures below show what it looks like when a blood cell dies. Reich Experimental Blood Test – Blood Disintegration Decaying blood cells forming into what Dr. Reich called “bions” from the Reich Blood Test work done by Hericlitus Labs. Orgone Energy Blood Test, 30 September 2020 (23 mins) These slides above are showing the bionic disintegration of living and non-living matter. The healthier cell has a more solid membrane with a blue light around it. This blue light is actually the lifeforce or “Aura” of the cell. It is what Dr. Reich called “orgone” energy.  As the cell dies and disintegrates, the membrane wall forms spikey protrusions coming out of it. The graphene oxide-based nanoparticles used in the Covid injections is designed to penetrate the membrane of the cells in order to get the mRNA into them. This constant penetration of the cell membrane wall could be what is causing these membrane deformities. According to A Laboratory Guide to Clinical Haematology at the Open Education of Alberta: “Acanthocyte formation occurs as a result of either hereditary or acquired membrane defects. Defects that cause an imbalance between the membrane cholesterol and lipid content affect the RBC’s ability to deform resulting in more rigid plasma membrane” Now shown below are three photos taken from recent [updated 1 October 2021] blood work from Dr. Robert Young. His conclusion is that what we are seeing in these blood cells is from the effect of EMF radiation poisoning, graphene oxide poisoning. He calls the formation of the blood cell membranes the “corona effect” and the “spike protein effect”. Scanning & Transmission Electron Microscopy Reveals Graphene Oxide in CoV-19 Vaccines This looks identical to the behaviour of the dying blood cells in the Reich Blood Test experiment. What we are seeing here are cells that have been poisoned and are dying. We also see the formation of the spike protein in the last slide. A striking discovery is found in the Reich Blood Test that shows how the orgone energy devices slows down, and stops this decay of blood cells.   This is showing, at a cellular level, how the orgone energy devices protect the human body from harmful EMF. The slide below shows the results of the Reich Blood Test. The sample on the left is the one that was inside the orgone accumulator box. The rate of cell death and decay is 5%.  The sample on the right is the one that was not in the orgone accumulator box. The rate of decay is 50%. Clearly, the orgone energy is doing something to help preserve the life force and health of the blood.

https://greenmedinfo.com/content/open-your-mind-close-your-mouth-oral-breathing-impedes-optimal-brain-activity Breathe in, breathe out. It's automatic, instinctual. But the way you breathe may be impacting your brain more than you realize. A groundbreaking study has revealed that breathing through your mouth could be hindering your cognitive abilities, while nasal respiration provides a neural boost We all do it over 20,000 times a day,1 mostly without a second thought - breathing. However, researchers from Gachon University in South Korea have discovered that how we breathe can significantly impact our brain function, especially when it comes to memory and thinking tasks. In the study, published in the journal Healthcare, 22 healthy participants were asked to perform a challenging working memory exercise called the 2-back task. This involves viewing a series of numbers and indicating when the current number matches the one from two steps earlier. The volunteers completed the task while breathing either through their nose or mouth, as their brain activity was measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The fMRI scans revealed that during oral breathing, there was reduced activation in several brain regions normally engaged during working memory, such as the caudate nucleus and inferior occipital gyrus. In contrast, nasal breathing resulted in greater activity in 15 areas, including the cerebellum, insula, and inferior parietal gyrus - all known to play important roles in memory, attention, and information processing.2,3 Furthermore, the functional connections between different brain areas were significantly stronger during nasal compared to oral breathing. The left and right inferior parietal gyrus, key memory hubs, displayed increased connectivity to other regions only during nose breathing. This suggests that the neural communication and synchronization underlying memory is optimized by nasal respiration. The researchers propose that the sensation of airflow through the nasal passages may provide important feedback signals to the brain that facilitate cognitive processing. Conversely, the lack of this nasal stimulation during mouth breathing could explain the observed deficits in brain activation and connectivity. While occasional mouth breathing, such as during a cold or allergies, is unlikely to cause lasting harm, the findings suggest that chronic oral respiration could potentially impair brain function over time. This is particularly concerning for the estimated 30-50% of adults4 who habitually breathe through their mouth, often due to nasal obstruction or simply out of habit. In addition to the cognitive benefits, nasal breathing has been shown to offer numerous other advantages over oral respiration: Filtration: The nose acts as a natural filter, trapping dust, allergens, and other irritants before they reach the lungs.5 Humidification: Nasal passages humidify inhaled air, protecting the delicate tissues of the airways and lungs from dryness.5 Nitric Oxide Production: Nasal breathing releases nitric oxide, a vasodilator that improves oxygen delivery throughout the body.6 Improved Lung Volume: Studies have found that nasal breathing results in greater lung volume and oxygen uptake compared to oral respiration during exercise.7 In light of this compelling evidence, experts recommend making a conscious effort to breathe through the nose as much as possible. For those who struggle with habitual mouth breathing, addressing any underlying causes such as nasal polyps or deviated septum can be beneficial, while noting that surgical approaches have significant risks and unintended, adverse effects that should be considered and balanced when weighed against the perceived benefits. Using mouth taping while sleeping, and breathing exercises, such as alternate nostril breathing from the yogic tradition, may also help train the body to default to nasal respiration. The next time you're gearing up for a mentally taxing task, it may be worth paying attention to your breath. Closing your mouth and inhaling through your nose could provide the neural boost you need to excel. In the quest for better brain function, the nose seems to know best.

https://expose-news.com/2024/04/05/april-fundraising-campaign-24/ Many people have played important roles in contributing to the emergence of artificial intelligence (“AI”) over the years and a few have been credited as being the father of AI. Matthew Ehret believes those who credit Nikola Tesla as of father of AI to be more correct. Tesla had a very particular relationship with robots and explicitly considered these beings which he called his “Telautomata” to be nothing less than a new species that he himself had “evolved.” His use of the term “I have evolved” when describing what he treated as a new species should make anyone aware of the religious cult of transhumanism more than a little uncomfortable. Over this last month, Matt Ehret has been publishing a series of articles titled ‘The Occult Nikola Tesla’.  Scratching at the shiny surface of the “official” narrative of Nikola Tesla’s life and works, Ehret reveals dark forces lurking beneath. The parts Ehret has published so far can be found by following the links below. Part 1: Newton, Rosicrucianism and the Imperial Control of Science Part 2: Tesla’s Eugenics (and other Black Magick) Part 3: Tesla and his Nazi Friend… The Strangest Friendship Part 4: Tesla’s Martians and H.G. Wells Part 5: Tesla: From Extreme Empiricist to Father of A.I. Gods Part 6: Why Tesla Flattened Space and Attacked Einstein Part 7: Tesla Evolves a New Species! The following is the latest in the series, Part 7, which Ehret published on Tuesday. The Occult Tesla Part 7: Tesla evolves a new species By Matthew Ehret Many people have played important roles in contributing to the emergence of the thing known as “artificial intelligence” over the years … although a dispute has raged over what this thing called “AI” actually is. One camp has defined AI as simply an extension of automation and computing in the service of human needs. This camp has tended to promote AI from a rational point of view by using algorithms created by humans to engage in a limited albeit very useful form of problem-solving… but ultimately incapable of replacing human creative reason. Another camp has chosen to see AI from a more mystical, yet ironically still Darwinian, vantage point. Those more religiously inclined promoters of AI tend to fall under the category of “transhumanist” and tend to treat artificial intelligence as a supernatural demonic Darwinian force beyond human free will or intentions, that compels humanity towards its own extinction. Among this much more unhealthy perspective, debates tend to be shaped by those who, like Ted Kaczynski (aka: The Unabomber) or other radical eco-terrorists, believe that technology evolves completely independently of human thought, resulting in a deterministic belief that machines, being more “fit to survive”, will necessarily enslave and destroy humanity. As such, this group tends to also promote going to war with the demonic/Darwinian force of technology before Skynet inevitably enslaves and destroys biological mortal humans at an imagined future point dubbed “the singularity.” In opposition to this group, we find other believers in transhumanism like Elon Musk, Google’s Ray Kurzweil or Yuval Harari, promoting the integration of human beings with technology through a variety of techniques – neural chips, mRNA biotech, CRISPR babies, virtual reality, brain drugs, etc. – in order to “stay relevant” while the evolutionary forces of technology grow to god-like proportions. Among this group, we find its members tending to sympathise with the figure of “world controller” Mustafa Mond in Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ (against the eco-anarchist archetype of John Savage). Tesla’s New Species of Thinking Machine In recent years, many have identified the “father” of trans-humanism and today’s AI cult to be Boston mathematician John McCarthy, while others have chosen to credit cybernetics founder Norbert Wiener with the honour. Others believe it to be game theorist John von Neumann and yet others still have posited Alan Turing to deserve the title. While all of those accreditations may participate in degrees of truth, I believe that those who credit Nikola Tesla for the title of father of artificial intelligence to be closer to the mark. Nikola Tesla had a very particular relationship with robots and explicitly considered these beings which he called his “Telautomata” to be nothing less than a new species that he himself had “evolved”! Not only did Tesla believe that he evolved new soul-less beings (as he believed himself to be), but he also believed that this new “species” would provide a total understanding of the machine known as “human.” Perhaps most jarring, is that Tesla also believed that this new species would help future social engineers better understand how the human machine could be more effectively programmed. In 1898, Tesla took out a patent on a remote-controlled three-foot boat, which he dubbed his “Telautomaton,” and for the next two years showcased his machine to amazed crowds at electrical expositions across the USA. In his dozens of performances, Tesla persuaded his audiences to talk to his machines by asking mathematical questions. The remote-controlled machine would in turn respond using blinking lights. Tesla wasn’t afraid to use a fair bit of stage magic to manipulate his audience’s perceptions and when asked how he controls his automatons, Tesla stated: “By an effort of will … I can stand two meters away from that instrument and by a mere stiffening of my muscles cause it to send a signal. It is so delicate in its adjustment that the disturbance of the electrical equilibrium caused by my muscular action affects it.” It turned out that the motive force was less Tesla’s superhuman force of will and control over his neck muscles (in an 1898 version of Elon Musk’s Neuralink) … and more of a hidden assistant managing a remote controller away from the audience’s field of perception. Again, techniques of spiritualist stage magicians crop up once more in this story, and will do so many more times in future instalments. Nikola Tesla’s strange showmanship did seem a little reminiscent of the 2021 display by his spiritual heir Elon Musk who promoted the cutting-edge new AI- robotic Tesla bots which he foresaw as interfacing with neural link brain chips. The fact that that the 21st century Telautomaton was sold by a human dressed in a robot suit should make one as uncomfortable as an 1898 spectator realising that Tesla wasn’t actually controlling his remote-controlled toy with his neck muscles and will. Matt Novak: Elon Musk unveils idea for Tesla robot but it’s just a human in a body suit, 19 August 2021 (6 mins) In a 1900 article, Nikola Tesla wrote of his new evolved automata: “The art that I have evolved does not contemplate merely the change of direction of a moving vessel; it affords a means of absolutely controlling, in every respect all the innumerable transitory movements as well as the operations of all the internal organs, no matter how many, of an individual automaton.”[1] There are several things to observe here: 1)      Tesla’s use of the term “evolved.” Coming from a follower of Herbert Spencer and Galton (recall from Part 2 of this series that Tesla was a eugenicist), this statement carries a lot of baggage. Thus, his use of the term “I have evolved” when describing what he treated as a new species should make anyone aware of the religious cult of transhumanism more than a little uncomfortable. 2)      Tesla’s belief that he had achieved a demonstration of an accurate analogue for humanity which somehow proved in his own mind, the non-existence of the soul. This indicates that Tesla placed himself into the position of a god/creator (albeit strangely a god that didn’t have any free will which he rejected in even himself). Recall that Tesla believes that all humans, including himself, are automatons; meaning he believes that future creator/alpha machines like him will inevitably act as a master race/higher automata to the lower automata that will be programmed. On this point, Tesla directly stated: “I am proving constantly, by every thought and act of mine, that I am nothing more than automaton, responding to external stimuli and passing through an infinitude of different existences from the cradle to the grave.” The spirit of Nikola Tesla can thus be heard loud and clear in the rambling prophecies of the new transhumanist priest Yuval Noah Harari: Ice Age Farmer Resources: “The idea of a Soul, Free Will – these are Over!” – Technocracy explained by Prof Yuval Harari, 23 September (1 min).  Clip is taken from an interview with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on 29 October 2020 Recall in this light, Tesla’s 1937 remarks to George Sylvester Viereck: “What we call ‘soul’ or ‘spirit,’ is nothing more than the sum of the functionings of the body. When this functioning ceases, the ‘soul’ or the ‘spirit’ ceases likewise.” Tesla’s disturbing philosophy of robotics, his disdain for free will, and transhumanist proclivities are a deep cause of concern. But to properly appreciate where all of this is coming from, it is useful to visit a little-known 1907 interview titled ‘Tidal Wave to Make War Impossible’, where Tesla described the future of the new species that he had evolved saying: “It will perform the duties of an intelligent slave. Many of us will live to see Bulwer’s dream realised.”[2] The huge importance of Tesla’s reference to the figure of Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, whose dream, he believed himself to have helped realise, has largely gone unnoticed for over a century, and this has caused one of the most important pieces of the “Tesla enigma” to be missed by all researchers. We will explore the incredible importance of this connection to the leading occultist, imperial grand strategist and father of the Rosicrucian revival in the next episode “Bulwer’s Dream and the Coming Race.” Footnotes: [1] Tesla, “The Problem of Increasing Human Energy,” 188. [2] Tesla’s Tidal Wave to Make War Impossible, [1907] where Tesla describes the future self-thinking machines as more evolved forms of his Telautomata saying: “A mechanism is being perfected which without operator in control, left to itself, will behave as if endowed with intelligence of its own. It will be responsive to the faintest external influences and from these, unaided, determine its subsequent actions as if possessed of selective qualities, logic, and reason. It will perform the duties of an intelligent slave. Many of us will live to see Bulwer’s dream realised.” About the Author Matthew Ehret is the editor-in-chief of the ‘Canadian Patriot Review’, a Senior Fellow at the American University in Moscow, and Director of ‘The Rising Tide Foundation’. He has authored three volumes of the ‘Untold History of Canada’ book series and four volumes of the ‘Clash of the Two Americas’.

The Israel-Iran conflict is an “inside job” by the globalist elite who are working to ensure the conflict will light the fuse to ignite a “holy war” that will spiral out of control into World War Three and lay the groundwork for the elite to usher in the “one world government” of the New World Order. According to an insider, recent events in the middle east, including the Israel-Hamas war and now the conflict with Iran have been planned by the global elite and are now playing out to the letter – with the ultimate goal of shaping the world in their own image. But there is just one problem for the globalist elite and their plans to enslave the human race. Their plans rely on the people of the world remaining ignorant – and we are not going to let that happen.

https://greenmedinfo.com/content/science-behind-olive-oils-top-10-health-benefits For millennia, the olive tree has been revered as a symbol of wisdom, peace, and longevity. Modern science now reveals that its precious oil may hold the key to unlocking vibrant health and preventing chronic disease. Dive in to discover the evidence-based secrets of this liquid gold Olive oil, the liquid gold of the Mediterranean, has been prized for its culinary and medicinal properties for thousands of years. Recent scientific research has begun to unravel the complex mechanisms behind its remarkable health effects. This comprehensive guide delves into the top 10 science-backed benefits of olive oil consumption, exploring the intricate ways in which its bioactive compounds interact with the body. We'll also examine the crucial differences between high-quality, organic, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and refined, chemically processed varieties. GreenMedInfo, a leading open-access database for natural medicine, has compiled an extensive body of research on olive oil's therapeutic potential. Their database reveals that olive oil may have beneficial effects in over 180 health conditions and exerts 69 distinct pharmacological actions.21 This underscores the incredible versatility and potency of this ancient healing food. Cardiovascular Protection Numerous studies have highlighted olive oil's cardioprotective properties. A meta-analysis of cohort studies found that higher olive oil intake was associated with reduced risks of cardiovascular events and mortality.1 EVOO's high content of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyphenols is thought to underlie these effects. MUFAs help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, while polyphenols like hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein possess potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that protect against atherosclerosis.2 Stroke Prevention A study published in Neurology revealed that older individuals who regularly used olive oil for both cooking and as a dressing had a 41% lower risk of stroke compared to non-users.3 While the exact mechanisms require further elucidation, researchers speculate that olive oil's anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic effects may play a role in reducing stroke risk.4 Blood Pressure Regulation EVOO's rich polyphenol content has been shown to help lower blood pressure. A randomized controlled trial found that consuming polyphenol-rich olive oil significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to low-polyphenol olive oil.5 Polyphenols may exert these effects by increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide, a vasodilator that helps relax blood vessels.6 Antidiabetic Effects Growing evidence suggests that olive oil may help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes. A systematic review and meta-analysis concluded that olive oil consumption was associated with a 16% reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.7 EVOO's beneficial effects on glucose metabolism are attributed to its MUFAs and polyphenols, which improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.8 Neuroprotection Olive oil's neuroprotective properties have garnered increasing attention in recent years. Animal studies have demonstrated that EVOO can mitigate age-related cognitive decline and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.9 These effects are linked to its high content of oleocanthal, a phenolic compound that exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in the brain.10 Anticancer Potential Numerous in vitro and animal studies have highlighted olive oil's potential anticancer effects. For instance, the phenolic compound oleocanthal has been shown to induce rapid death in various cancer cell lines while leaving healthy cells unharmed.11 Other olive oil polyphenols, such as hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein, have demonstrated antiproliferative and proapoptotic activities against breast, colon, and prostate cancer cells.12 Anti-inflammatory Effects EVOO's potent anti-inflammatory properties are well-documented. Its polyphenols, particularly oleocanthal, inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of pro-inflammatory compounds.13 Regular consumption of EVOO has been associated with reduced levels of inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein and interleukin-6.14 Digestive Health Olive oil may benefit digestive health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the gut. A study in patients with ulcerative colitis found that a diet rich in olive oil was associated with improvements in disease activity and quality of life.15 EVOO's polyphenols, such as hydroxytyrosol, have also been shown to exert protective effects against gastric ulcers in animal models.16 Bone Health Emerging research suggests that olive oil may help maintain bone health. Animal studies have demonstrated that EVOO consumption can increase bone formation and mineralization while reducing bone resorption.17 These effects are attributed to olive oil's high content of MUFAs and polyphenols, which modulate inflammation and oxidative stress in bone tissue.18 Skin Health Topical application and dietary consumption of olive oil may benefit skin health. EVOO's polyphenols, particularly hydroxytyrosol, have been shown to protect against UV-induced skin damage and photoaging.19 Olive oil's MUFAs also contribute to skin hydration and elasticity, while its vitamin E content aids in wound healing and scar prevention.20 Choosing the Healthiest Olive Oil To maximize the health benefits of olive oil, it's crucial to select high-quality, organic, cold-pressed, extra virgin varieties. EVOO is obtained from the first pressing of olives and undergoes minimal processing, preserving its delicate polyphenols and nutrients. In contrast, refined olive oils are treated with chemicals and heat, which can degrade beneficial compounds. When shopping for olive oil, look for bottles labeled "extra virgin" from reputable brands, and opt for dark glass containers to protect against light-induced oxidation. The scientific evidence supporting olive oil's multifaceted health benefits is compelling. From cardiovascular protection to neuroprotection, anticancer potential to digestive health, EVOO's complex array of bioactive compounds works synergistically to promote optimal well-being. By incorporating high-quality, organic, cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil into your diet, you can harness the power of this ancient elixir to enhance your health and longevity.
