Olive Oil Polyphenols & Pelvic Microvascular Perfusion
Understanding oleocanthal, endothelial nitric oxide synthesis, and anti-inflammatory balance in Mediterranean cuisine.
The Power of Fresh Early-Harvest Olive Oil
Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil made from green olives contains high concentrations of oleocanthal — a natural phenolic compound that modulates the inflammatory COX-1 and COX-2 pathways.
Supporting Microvascular Blood Flow
Sitting for hours impedes pelvic basin circulation. Combining dietary polyphenols with omega-3 fatty acids from wild sardines and mackerel supports endothelial nitric oxide release, encouraging microvascular perfusion.
