Daily Consumption of Olive Oil Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia-Related Death, Harvard Study Finds
Dementia is a devastating disease that affects millions of people worldwide. However, a new study conducted by Harvard scientists suggests that there may be a simple way to reduce your risk of dying from dementia: consuming olive oil.
In the study, which observed over 92,000 adults for 28 years, researchers found that those who consumed at least 7 grams (around half a tablespoon) of olive oil daily had a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death compared to those who rarely or never ate olive oil.
The findings of this study are significant because they provide further evidence supporting the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, which includes olive oil as one of its main components. The Mediterranean diet has long been associated with various health benefits, particularly heart health, and now it appears that it may also have positive effects on brain health.
According to Anne-Julie Tessier, one of the study’s coauthors and a research associate in nutrition at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health: “Our study reinforces dietary guidelines recommending vegetable oils such as olive oil and suggests that these recommendations not only support heart health but potentially brain health as well.” She also added that opting for olive oil instead of other fats like margarine or commercial mayonnaise could reduce the risk of fatal dementia.
