Will Olive Oil Help Me Lose
Weight and Reduce Cholesterol
Dear Editor,
My friend told me to eat foods
with more Olive oil to help reduce cholesterol
and that Olive oil will not make me fat. Should
I use more Olive oil. I’m concerned because any
oils are loaded with extra fat and calories.
Dear
Visitor,
Both
you and your friend are right. Olive oil in
small amounts has been shown to reduce
cholesterol. That’s because polyunsaturated or
monounsaturated oils are often called the good
fats because small amounts may actually help
reduce cholesterol level. Olive oil is
classified as monounsaturated oil and is
preferred
because it lowers
LDL cholesterol
(bad cholesterol)
without lowering HDL
cholesterol , the good cholesterol.
When you are dieting, you
still must manage calorie intake and even Olive
oil is high in calories, so my advice is to use
it but use it sparingly.
