Olive oil is often used to make delicious and healthy food. Olive oil is known as one of the best types of natural oils which have many health benefits. Among the benefits is the ability to control cholesterol level. However, a recent study found that olive oil has other benefits, which strengthens bones.

The study was conducted over two years revealed that people who consume olive oil have protein osteocalcin levels higher than those who do not consume oil.

Osteocalcin is a protein secreted by the cells that form bone. The higher levels of this protein, the higher the strength of human bone, as reported by the Daily Mail (28/01).

A theory also reveals that osteocalcin not only shows the strength of the bone but also can prevent immune disease resistance. Immune resistance is often associated with brittle bones.

These results are supported by another study conducted by researchers at the University of Athens. They found that eating a lot of olive oil and a bit of red meat associated with strong bones and to the women, especially when they are adults. Researchers believe that this could also be due to the antioxidants in olive oil.
