00:00Here is extra virgin olive oil, and here is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.
00:07This is a leaf, but Motrin and Advil are also non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
00:15I'm going to come back to this in just a few minutes.
00:19I first want you to understand the powerful healing medicinal properties
00:24of what extra virgin olive oil can do for you.
00:28Extra virgin olive oil will improve your cholesterol levels.
00:32It's rich in monounsaturated fats.
00:34It helps increase levels of your good cholesterol, your HDLs,
00:38and lowers your bad cholesterol, your LDLs.
00:42It's your LDL cholesterol that leads to plaque buildup in your arteries,
00:45which increases the risk of heart disease.
00:48And by improving your cholesterol levels,
00:50olive oil will help maintain the health of your arteries.
00:54Extra virgin olive oil also protects you against oxidative stress.
00:59It has vitamin E and polyphenols,
01:01and these antioxidants help protect the cell linings of your arteries,
01:05which can cause damage and contribute to the development of atherosclerosis,
01:09which is hardening of the arteries.
01:11And extra virgin olive oil also enhances your endothelial function.
01:15That's the inner lining of your blood vessels, including the arteries.
01:19An improved endothelial function helps regulate blood pressure,
01:22blood clotting, and overall vascular health.
01:26Now, here's what's important.
01:28Extra virgin olive oil has oleocanthal.
01:31It's a powerful natural antioxidant that reduces inflammation.
01:35This inhibits enzymes in the body that produces inflammation.
01:40And the non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Aleve, Motrin, and Advil
01:45also inhibit enzymes that produce inflammation.
01:48The difference is, this is dangerous, and this is healthy.
01:53And what is so important about non-steroidal anti-inflammatories?
01:56They affect the kidney.
01:58If you have any type of kidney problems, kidney disease,
02:01this can cause a significant, serious problem
02:05that you really need to be concerned about.
02:08Also, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like Aleve, Motrin, and Advil
02:12also cause gastrointestinal problems as well,
02:15to your stomach as well as your intestines.
02:17Remember, ibuprofen is your Advil and Motrin.
02:22Naproxen is your Aleve.
02:24And every problem, disease, pathology in our body that goes on
02:29is all going to have inflammation.
02:31If it's heart disease, inflammation within the arteries
02:33that can cause that clogging of the arteries,
02:36diabetes, which is high blood sugar, cancer,
02:40we have autoimmune diseases, or any other problem that goes on.
02:45Yes, even conditions related to the joints that have inflammation
02:48is going to cause pain and dysfunction.
02:50Ibuprofen has been comparable when it comes to the oleocanthal
02:54that's already natural in extra virgin olive oil.
02:58So the question here is that by taking a tablespoon or two tablespoons a day,
03:03either in a tablespoon and swallowing it down,
03:06or in your food throughout the day,
03:09that would be your best option.
03:11Because if you can use a fly swatter to take care of the problem,
03:15rather than a sledgehammer to cause more problems,
03:18this may be the first way to go.
03:23That's my opinion, although I want you to be aware
03:27that all drugs have side effects.
03:29And if you're taking these drugs with other medications,
03:32that can even make it worse.
03:34Just remember the powerful healing effects of extra virgin olive oil,
03:39not only for your pain and inflammation,
03:41but for your heart, your arteries, your cholesterol,
03:45your immune system, your brain, your liver,
03:49and all other organs as well.
03:52I hope that this video serves you well.
