Adding wild olive oil to your diet can help reduce high blood pressure

A study conducted by the Cardiovascular Physiological Pathology Research Group of the Department of Physiology of the University of Seville showed that a diet rich in wild olive oil can lower blood pressure

The research team of the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Seville, led by Professors Carmen Maria Vazquez Cuerto and Professor Alfonso Matte Barreiro, has been studying pathologies related to hypertension for more than 20 years Physiological mechanism to seek natural products to reduce the organic damage caused by this change

In this study, researchers provided mice with a diet rich in wild olive oil or extra virgin olive oil, and found that a diet rich in wild olive oil can significantly reduce blood pressure in hypertensive animals

At the same time, studies have shown that a diet rich in wild olive oil reduces the oxidative pressure of the eye caused by high blood pressure more than a diet rich in extra virgin olive oil

Researchers specifically studied the morphological changes of the high-pressure retina and found that it can be prevented by a diet rich in wild olive oil

Hypertension is a disease with a high global prevalence (30-45% of the total population), in which the systolic blood pressure is higher than 139 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure is higher than 89 mmHg

The Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathology Research Group has applied to the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office for a patent on the use of wild olive oil in retinal damage related to arterial hypertension and related retinopathy through the University of Seville
