Studies: Olive oil, healthy for brain function

Scientists have found that consuming olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, may be linked to better brain function and concentration in older people. This is due to its natural ingredients, particularly antioxidants and polyphenolic compounds that fight oxidative stress and inflammation that damage brain cells.

Studies show that people who consume significant amounts of olive oil have better memory and thinking function and a lower risk of cognitive decline over the years.

Research also suggests that some components of the oil help maintain the function of the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from harmful substances and helps clear neural debris.

Recent research has shown that olive oil helps enrich the gut microbiota, creating a healthier bacterial environment. This is linked to cognitive function and brain health, as good microbiota helps the immune response and reduces inflammation in the body.

Studies highlight that extra virgin oil holds more bioactive compounds and antioxidants than refined oils, which is why it is often associated with more visible benefits for brain health and cognition. /CNA
