claim5 6 7 8 Poor management of factors, such as diet, physical activity, blood lipids, and blood pressure, will increase the risk of developing CVD as a 20 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with a doubled risk of death from CVD [,].

claimRecent studies indicate that the well-known phenolic compounds, hydroxytyrosol (HTyr) and tyrosol (Tyr) present in extra virgin olive oil, confer cardioprotection through various mechanisms of action that include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic regulatory properties.
