Today, I want to cover the fascinating benefits of olive oil.

Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Olive oil also has incredible effects on certain parts of the body, including:
• The cardiovascular system
• The nerves and brain
• The skin
• The eyes

Olive oil is a good source of healthy fats and contains vitamins E and K1. However, the real benefits of olive oil occur because of a group of plant chemicals called polyphenols.

Polyphenols produce many amazing effects on the body, like helping to prevent complications from chronic disease and oxidative stress.

It’s crucial to get real olive oil that’s organic. This is because glyphosate (an herbicide) blocks a plant’s ability to produce amino acids and polyphenols. Glyphosate can also lead to a myriad of other health concerns.

Keep in mind that salads contain polyphenols and other phytonutrients. Plus, adding olive oil to salads helps increase the absorption of phytonutrients.

  1. I am from Algeria located in Africa to the Mediterranean Sea , organic virgin olive oil is so popular back home , it gives longevity and strong bones , we put dry figs inside organic olive oil jar as strong probiotic especially for those suffering from IBS and digestive system ,

  2. Great Video 😊 I went on line a few months ago 😊 the olive oil farm & brought a bottle 🍾 of olive oil to try 😊never looked back & many other things they sell 😊 just watching who they are & what they stand for is uplifting 😊 if Dr. Berg ever suggest a great product as he does not normally I will always check it out 😊😊I brought the olive oil bottle for a Christmas present to a friend & she was absolutely delighted 😊

    • Was in North Africa some years back and looking forward to when my Algerian neighbour returns with my shopping list of North African goodies ❤

  3. I am afraid it is not so simple – while that “throat test” may apply to some kinds of olive oil typicalyl produced in italy, in fact olive oil can be a varied as wine – depending on the olives used, their ripeness when picked, the way the olives are handled and how fast they are processed etc etc. different countries also prefer different tastes of olive oil. An “extra vergine” oil made from over-ripe olives which spent three days on a lorry will have much less quality than if the same olives were picked while still green, cooled and processed immediately.
    As a rule of thumb, spanish, portuguese and greek olive oils are usually milder, as they thend to harvest the olives later when they are ripe and black, which gives good olive oil an almost buttery, warm, mild taste, and this oil can usually be used well for cooking, whereas the french and Italians like a more “grassy” taste which comes from harvesting the olives early just before they become ripe, and they are better used for salads, pestos and other cold or mildly wearm food. There are also different kinds of olives for oil (and lets not forget the other olive varieties grown for eating) each with their own taste. Unfiltered oil from green olives must be used quickly, for cold dishes only and is rarely available, but once you tried it, ideally just with a slice of that italian bread and with some seasalt, you never go back. Also, Algeria, Tunisia, but also the countries of the levante, they all produce lots of olives and there are more and more small producers sticking to quality – they are just more difficult to find. OTOH, Italy produces and exports much much more “italien olive oil” than the olive trees there are able to produce – because it is sufficient for an olive oil to be “italian” if the olives, sometimes shipped for days across the mediterranean sea, are only pressed in Italy. The same may happen in Spain and other countries. Therefore, if you have the chance to buy verified locally produced olive oil, absolutely do so, and do not hesitate to buy that 5l or 10l canister – you will use it, and/or can share with friends and family. I also hear that in california, some excellent olive oil is available, but it may be the exception, not the rule.

    • @Linda Sue I think with all the issues going on in the world the least of our worries is proper paragraph breaks…

  4. I always add loads of organic EV olive oil, balsamic vinegar, basil leaves and organic garlic to my salads. Thank you for the validation.

  5. Hi Dr. Berg, you mentioned that you use balsamic vinegar on your salad…we use organic pomegranate vinegar with the mother…would you be able to do a vid on its benefits? TY

  6. You’ve inspiered me, I decided to turn my life around 6 months ago, I weighed almost 120kg and thanks to your tips along with regular daily workouts I’ve came down to 85kg as of today. I’ve still got some fat to burn and I’ll tune in once my new goal is reached to thank you once again. Keepndoingbwhat you do, it’s life changing for so many including myself. Thanks!

  7. We are a Cypriot family. We have grown up using olive oil for everything. Cold pressed is the best. Oils from Cyprus (Greek or Turkish Cypriots), Greece, Spain and Italy are wonderful pure and can be expensive but truly worth it.

  8. So many health gurus on YT are swayed by every new study, and end up contradicting themselves every other week.

    You actually put in the time to do your own research to identify the good studies from the bought ones, and make it all make sense. Thank you!! Where do I submit questions for the lives? 💜💜💜

    • The struggle is real. The number of Doctors, gurus & poorly done studies, that put out contradictory information is enough to drive a person crazy, for sure.

  9. Hello Dr Berg! First of all thank you so much for all the good knowledge you share to us.
    I’ve been going through keto from the last month, though my lifestyle is really active as i do swimming in the early morning and weightlifting in the evening and after around 25 days I’ve started feeling no energy to perform well in my physical activities, could you please give me any suggestion, it will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you

    • @Mark Moore hi thank you for your reply, i usually have Himalayan salt and no table salt in my kitchen, i weigh 70 Kg of muscle mass an usually I’m having 120-130 grams of protein everyday along with the fats I’m getting, plus i take Branch chained aminos everyday eat vegetables everyday….so i think it can be a deficiency of electrolytes which are making it difficult to absorb it all ..

  10. It doesn’t always hurt or create a prickly feeling in the back of your throat it depends on the variety of the of olive itself. this one you refer to is a mix of two varieties Frantoio and Moraioto. One being stronger than the other, they are blended but both are very fruity which creates the itch to the throat. They can be fruity, bitter or soft in flavor and used for different things, frying, salads, or special to drizzle on plates at the end. Italy has so many varieties as does Spain and Greece. To tell people it just has to be prickly to get a good oil is not true.

    • Interesting how so many people are describing the olive oil “burn” as olive oil “itch” since myself and everyone else I know always describe it as a slight burning sensation :^)

    • ​@WJKI refer to it as the olive oil kick. In the back of the throat. I like the taste, but I have to do small amounts, mainly on the final or finished food dish. And of course on salads. 🌞

    • And seems like you forgot that the smell is also not necessary because nowadays it just like any other crop a lot of chemicals is used to increase the production of it.
      😎😁

  11. Thanks again, Dr. Berg! Have learned so much about keeping the body healthy from your videos… you’re a God send!

  12. Just gotta say I love olive oil as I don’t eat any other oils besides olive, so glad to know that it has a lot of benefits and can help us with so many other things ❤
    Love you doctor 👨‍⚕️

  13. Before I buy EVOO I always test to see if is adulterated or not….with kinesiology.
    In Slovenija of the former Yugoslavia, I lived in a tiny hamlet where the olives were harvested, then pressed into the incredible green-gold oil….something that I really miss along with our wines!

  14. Absolutely captivated by the “What Does OLIVE OIL Do for Your Body?” video! 🫒🌿 The insights on its incredible benefits are eye-opening. Count me in for more olive oil in my life after this revelation. Kudos for the informative content! 👏👍

  15. Every single morning the past few years, first thing, without a doubt, I have always had a teaspoon of EV OO and it has been great for my skin, hair and health!

  16. I have noticed that many balsamic vinegars have “added sugars”. Both the TJ’s balsamic and the Costco organic balsamic say they have something like 6 or 9 grams of added sugar per tablespoon. I love them, and as you do, I each a large salad for many meals but wonder if I should switch to red wine vinegar, or lemon/lime juice with my organic olive oil as my dressing, to avoid the added sugar in the balsamic.
