It prevents blockage of blood vessels, this is how the consumption of olive oil protects the heart

When a person eats, the level of a protein known as apolipoprotein A-IV increases in their blood, which plays an important role in preventing heart attack and ischemia.
The increase in the level of this protein occurs mainly when a person consumes olive oil or foods with unsaturated fats.
Recently, studies have revealed that this protein also prevents blockage of blood vessels. Doing so can cause heart attack, ischemia or premature death.
Arteriosclerosis and thrombosis
In most cases, heart attack and ischemia are caused as a result of arteriosclerosis.
This is a disease related to the blockage of blood vessels by arteriosclerotic plaques which overlap the arteries and impede circulation.
These plaques consist of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances. The apolipoprotein A-IV protein prevents blockage of blood vessels, changing the shape of plaques that overlap and obstruct circulation.
This protein slows arteriosclerosis and prevents thrombosis.
Its levels are high when one consumes unsaturated fats, such as olive oil.
Protected even in sleep
In addition to linking this protein to heart health, avoiding heart attack or ischemia, scientists discovered something else interesting.
The intensity of this protein in the blood is higher when a person is asleep and lower when he is awake.
This, according to studies referred to by AgroWeb.org, means that man is protected when he is asleep. The likelihood of a cardiovascular problem is greater in the morning.
Eating foods rich in unsaturated fats together with quality sleep create the perfect conditions for reducing the risk of heart attack and ischemia./ AgroWeb.org
