Italian salad dressing makes every salad taste Italian. Italian salad dressing's main ingredient is olive oil which its benefits have always known to our ancestors from the ancient time and counting.
New studies have shown that olive oil is more awesome than what we thought.
It is anti-inflammatory. Unlike other oils which are considered "added fat" and can result in inflammation, olive oil is just the opposite. Due to its high volume of polyphenols, Olive oil has anti-inflammatory benefits and may even lower the bad cholesterol. Perhaps one of the most strongest point of olive oil is that it has no cholesterol.
It also has cardiovascular benefits as well as digestive, bon and cognitive benefits.
