Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats which are an important part of a healthy diet. Unsaturated fats can reduce LDL ‘bad’ cholesterol and increase HDL ‘good’ cholesterol levels- which can in turn, reduce the risk of heart disease when they replace saturated fats. Because unsaturated fats are also high in kilojoules, it is important to not over-consume. Check out the Eat for Health website to find out what your requirements are (a serve of unsaturated fat is 10g (roughly 2 teaspoons of oil).
