Olive oil: a food with a thousand virtues

Madrid / Navarra / 02.06.2022

A new day, a new appointment with the OHIS (Olive Health Information System) portal, the information platform developed by the IOC and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Navarra on health, the Mediterranean diet, olive oil and other food-related topics.

Our articles range from biomolecular disciplines to new dietary models. We cover the following topics: how to prevent cardiovascular problems, how to combat cognitive disorders, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and other degenerative phenomena. Research shows once again the fundamental role of extra virgin olive oil in the diet.

Happy reading and, above all, good health!
