Bellucci Premium Comments on an Article Discussing How the Mediterranean Diet is Better at Lowering Cardiovascular Disease Risks Than a Low-Fat Diet
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) February 18, 2014 -- Bellucci Premium, a high quality Italian olive oil producer, comments on an article published by Medical News Today on how following a Mediterranean diet is a better preventative step to cardiovascular disease than following a low-fat diet.
In an article published by Medical News Today on February 9th titled “Mediterranean diet 'better than low-fat diet' for cardiovascular risk,” the findings of a recently published American Journal of Medicine study are discussed. The study found that a Mediterranean diet is more effective at reducing cardiovascular disease risks than a low-fat diet. The study analyzed data from 1957 to the present day and examined the relationship between food and heart disease.
The study found that high levels of saturated fats are linked with increased rates of heart disease. Conversely the Mediterranean diet is high in monounsaturated fat, which has been proven to decrease heart disease risk, and is low in saturated fats.
Natalie Sexenian, the marketing manager for high quality Italian olive oil producer Bellucci Premium, says, “The Mediterranean diet is perfect for anyone concerned about heart disease because it is low in meat, which contains saturated fat, and high in nuts, fish, and olive oil, which all contain the ‘heart healthy fat,’ monounsaturated fatty acid. A low-fat diet may not be the best approach, because although saturated fat is cut, so is the monounsaturated fat that helps combat high cholesterol levels.”
Bellucci offers three different types of oil, including an organic option, with a mild peppery flavor and fruity undertones that will satisfy any palate. Bellucci Premium Toscano extra virgin olive oil uses olives that are grown on the beautiful landscapes of Tuscany, and maintained by 3rd and 4th generation farmers. The third type of oil Bellucci produces is the finest 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, grown in many different regions of Italy.
