Helps Reduce Blood Pressure & Protect Heart Health
A growing body of high‑quality clinical and observational research shows that replacing saturated fats with Extra‑Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) can help reduce blood pressure—a key factor in lowering cardiovascular risk.
Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that substituting butter or other saturated fats with EVOO leads to meaningful reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Experts recommend that adults seeking cardiovascular protection make extra‑virgin olive oil their primary dietary fat, with 25–40 grams per day (about 2–3 tablespoons) associated with a 30–35% reduction in major cardiovascular events.

These effects are supported by EVOO’s rich profile of polyphenols and monounsaturated fats, which help improve vascular function and reduce systemic inflammation—both essential contributors to maintaining healthy blood pressure.
