One of the contributing factors to hyperlipidemia is a poor balance of fats. Saturated fats and other dangerous types of fatty acids can raise your cholesterol levels to dangerous degrees, increasing your likelihood of coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes. Olive oil, however, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known as the “good” forms of fat. By using olive oil to cook with or as a salad dressing, you can bring your cholesterol levels back to normal and even reduce inflammation throughout the body.
