5 Reasons to Consume More Olive Oil for Men

Published on 26th Nov 2019 at 09:00 by New You

Next to fish oil, olive oil is the true superstar of liquid fats. In fact, next to fish oil and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), olive oil is exactly what you should be sucking up.

5 Reasons to Consume More Olive Oil

  1. A component of olive oil causes your body to burn more fat. Olive oil contains oleuropein, a phenol that causes white fat cells to act more like brown fat cells. This is good news because brown fat cells are cells that contain lots of ravenous mitochondria (little organelles that are the source of all cellular energy) that take in nutrients and release heat. The more brown fat you have, or the more fat you have that acts like brown fat, the more calories you burn. A little brown goes a long way.
    Say for instance you were carrying just 50 extra grams of brown or brown-acting fat. That tiny amount could cause you to burn 300 to 500 extra calories a day.
  2. Olive oil makes your balls bigger. Okay, bigger balls in itself isn't any great shakes, but heavier testicles indicates greater testosterone production. Olive oil helps the Leydig cells in the testicles to get heavy by absorbing more cholesterol, and the testes use cholesterol to make testosterone. Furthermore, the olive oil increases levels of an enzyme that facilitates the conversion to testosterone. 
  3. Olive oil increases insulin sensitivity. Olive oil, through its phenols and polyphenols, reduces muscle insulin resistance (while a low-fat diet is more effective in reducing insulin resistance in the liver). Lowered insulin resistance and, as a result, increased insulin sensitivity, is not only good for your health, but your waistline and your musculature, too. I Insulin sensitive muscles are hugely receptive to receiving nutrients, which leads to growth. If muscle cells aren't sensitive to insulin, nutrients get stored as fat.
  4. Olive oil reduces your chances of getting a whole bunch of medical conditions or diseases. Because of its effects on insulin resistance, the polyphenols it contains, and its antioxidant potential, olive oil has been shown to slow down the aging of the heart, reduce the risk of colon cancer and skin cancer, maintain calcium levels in bones, lower blood pressure, and even fight depression.
  5. Olive oil can be a valuable tool in dieting. Simply taking a tablespoon of olive oil in-between meals can quell hunger to an amazing degree, while simultaneously conferring all the other health benefits listed above.

Ways to Use Olive Oil

There are plenty of ways to get more olive oil into your diet. You can fry foods with it, add it to stews or soups, or douse your vegetables and salads with it. Alternately, you can just swallow down a tablespoon or two straight.

What Our Clients Say:

"Walking out of New You approx. 14 weeks later was easy. The whole world seemed different, I weighed 60lbs less, I was lighter on my feet having much more energy. Weighing 13 stone 5lbs with a 37.5 inch waist, felt great. Having lots more muscle tone, that felt even better. I am now significantly stronger tighter and fitter than ever before."

David Kiely

"After 12 weeks of 6am starts, constant attention from John, good pains and a well-balanced diet... I love what I have become. I couldn't believe that I fitted back into my leather trousers that I couldn't pull up above my knees. And boy do they fit well! I suppose losing 12 kg of body fat and over 8 inches from my waist whilst gaining nearly 2 kg of muscle had to make a difference. "

Caroline

"Its nearly 11 months since I started with New You. I haven’t put any weight back on, in fact I have continued to get considerably leaner lighter stronger and fitter.* I weigh just over 13 stone, my body fat is now under 15% which makes me pretty athletic, my waist is down to 32 inches and my lean tissue has continued to improve."

Colin Duffy

"Walking through the doors of NEW YOU for the first time was extremely difficult. At 55-years of age I had very little confidence and low self esteem. Twelve weeks later I walked out of NEW YOU a completely different person. I had dropped 37lbs of body fat, which meant I had gone from just over 11 stone to 8 and a half stone."

Yvonne

"I would like to thank my trainer and the medical support from New You and all the team who took a keen interest in my results. Also a special thanks to my mother Christine who got me started and supported me all the way. I have to say that one of the life changing moments I have had besides everything else… is to be able to buy clothes off the peg."
