Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Athens, have made a conclusive study on the benefits of EVOO. The results prove undoubtedly that olive oil is more effective than Viagra.
660 men of 67 years of age on average participated in the study, whose final result was as follows: those who consume more Extra Virgin Olive Oil have less problems getting a complete and lasting erection, without resorting to drugs, such as the case of Viagra. So obviously the side effects of these medications are eliminated as well when you just have olive oil.
EVOO, as proven by numerous cardiovascular studies, ensures that blood vessels remain healthy. A balanced Mediterranean diet rich in Extra Virgin Olive Oil helps blood reach all parts of the body. This promotes, among other benefits, a good erection, in addition to increasing testosterone levels.
The study also provides the minimum amount recommended to achieve these benefits and reduce the likelihood of suffering impotence: at least 9 tablespoons of EVOO per week.
However, this intake should be accompanied by a balanced diet. Only taking EVOO will not help improve these results.
According to Doctor Paul Kroon, one of the scientists involved in the research, the secret is in the polyphenols. These compounds are fermented by the bacteria of the intestinal microbiota, so that antioxidant metabolites that protect the tissues are produced. Among them are the walls of the blood vessels, which remain more flexible and free of obstructions.
