Olive Oil - it keeps getting better

A recent study has shown olive oil to help protect against liver damage.

This is yet another benefit to the Mediterranean superfood, which also include:

-          Improving lipid profiles

-          Being an excellent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory

-          Lowering blood pressure

-          Regulating blood sugar levels

-          Reducing the risk of cancer

I currently consume about 6 tablespoons per day of olive oil as part of my offseason diet plan, and I include it in all of my clients diet plans, regardless of whether it’s a fat loss plan or a muscle gain plan.   

If olive oil isn’t part of your current diet, I highly suggest adding it. 

It’s a calorically-dense food though (about 120 calories per tablespoon) so use accordingly.
