Olive oil

I went to WIL to take a class English conversation last Tuseday. We talked about miracle cures.

It is a well known fact that olive oil is good for our health. Many studies show people who use a lot of olive oil in their food have fewer heart attacks. A new study finds that olive oil also cuts the risk of having a stroke. A report from France's University of Bordeaux finds that using a lot of olive oil in cooking and salad dressings reduces the risk of stroke by an average of 41 per cent. Research leader Dr Cecilia Samieri said doctors should recommend olive oil for older people, alongside more fruit and vegetables and less salt.
There has been lots of research into the benefits of olive oil with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity. The place in the world where people use a lot of olive oil are those where people live longer. Olive oil is a key part of the Mediterranean diet, which is famous for being healthy. Thousands of year ago people called olive oil "liquid gold". In ancient Greece, people used it as medicine and athletes rubbed it all over their bodies because they believed they would run faster.

I sometimes use sesame oil. It smells good and is good for our health. We should think about foods to keep our health good. I eat as many vegetables as I can.
