Heart disease is a scary concept, one that is lurking around the corner for many of us. Fortunately, doing the right thing for your heart does not always have to mean cutting back on the things we love. According to a recent scientific study, you can do wonders for your heart by simply dunking your Italian bread in olive oil.
This study took a selection of participants and added twenty milliliters of olive oil to their daily diets. After as little as six weeks, it was found that the subjects experienced a dramatic improvement in the chemical signals in their bodies linked to coronary artery diseases. To enjoy these same benefits yourself, you only need to include a modest amount of olive oil in your diet; this may amount to a modest olive oil-based salad dressing, or the small amount you might get by dipping your bread into the oil.
