Here's how: Hard, insoluble fats are hydrolyzed during the digestive process. In other words, they're converted into *plaque* like molecules that are deposited into your adipose cells and tissues. Over a period of time, your cells become so swollen with these molecules that you put on pound after pound, inch after inch. Your fatty cells now make you fatter and fatter. Liquid monounsaturated fat from free-flowing extra-virgin olive oil performs a unique service for your body. It creates a reaction that tends to release substances called-- *phospholipids*- fat melters, in the form of unsaturated fatty acids. They *liquefy* and break down the plaque like molecules that have attached themselves to your adipose cells. Olive oil has a twofold purpose, it provides the fat that is essential for your body's proper functioning and at the same time, it melts and *flushes* out hard cellular fat. Olive oil is not only the source of the unsaturated fatty acids that contain powerful fat-melting nutrients. Most seafood fats are also *unsaturated*. They help *dislodge* accumulated fatty clumps so they can be broken down and flushed out of your body. When you add extra-virgin olive oil to a salad dressing or use it in cooking, you introduce the beneficial omega-9 fatty acids into your bloodstream. In addition to creating the " breakdown " and " synthesis " of *accumulated* fat in your adipose cells, these ingredients perform additional health-building benefits. 1.They provide you with omega-9 essential fatty acids that your body cannot manufacture on its own. 2.Once absorbed, they become your basic source of reserve energy. 3.They form the essential constituents of cell membranes that regulate the intake and *removal* of " wastes " by your cells. 4.They act as insulators to maintain a healthy body temperature. 5.They insulate and *protect* your body's essential organs, especially your heart, liver and kidneys. 6.They provide a feeling of appetite satisfaction after eating only small amounts. This reduces hunger pangs-or gastric secretions - and helps you avoid overeating. Wonder Oils What makes extra-virgin olive oil qualify as a wonder oil? It contains an essential fatty acid known to nutritionists as " oleic " acid, which is almost like dynamite to your cells. It *loosens* and " breaks up " the fat that has stubbornly clung to your cells and tissues. Oleic acid also provides these additional benefits: 1.It *strengthens* your capillaries and cell membranes while " scubbing " them clean of accumulated fatty weight deposits. 2.It preserves the health of your skin by regulating its " water " balance. This helps protect against the formation of wrinkles after weight loss because of insufficient moisture. 3.It helps *transport* cholesterol so that it does not accumulate in your adipose cells and overburden them with even more fat. 4.It lowers *excessive* LDL cholesterol levels in your bloodstream and minimizes the fat that could clog your arteries. 5.It helps properly maintain your body's reproductive abilities. 6.It helps regulate blood clotting. 7.It promotes the healing of wounds. Health Benefits Have you ever felt weak and more susceptible to illness while on a reducing program?When you go off your diet, do the pounds return? This is because a severely restricted diet is usually deficient in its supply of the essential fatty acids that serve as *cushions* for your digestive system and related organs Furthermore, since your adipose cells represent the core of a weight problem, you need to have all the essential fatty acids to attack and destroy the plaque on your cells and provide lasting weight loss. Free-flowing extra-virgin olive oil can solve these problems too. It can actually boost your immune system as you get slimmer with no undesirable side effects. Extra-virgin olive oil contains ingredients that your body converts into substances called *prostaglandins*. These contribute to a wide range of health-boosting reactions in your body including: 1.Regulating your blood pressure 2.Protecting your organs so they function effectively 3.Guarding against inflammation and undesirable painful reactions. 4.Soothing your hunger pangs by coating your digestive organs. Furthermore, these wonder oils contain a little known but almost miraculous *cell-scrubbing* ingredient that holds the key to slimming your body - phospholipids, the fat-melter we discussed earlier. When you consume one or two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil daily, you reward your body with a rich supply of " phospholipids " . They go directly to your adipose cells and tissues and break down the " fatty sheath " that is responsible for the overload of fat. Here are even more benefits: 1.They're able to maintain the structural integrity of your cells so that even during extreme dieting, you experience very little weakening in overall body tone. 2.They're needed for essential blood clotting and for insulating the nerve fibers in your brain. 3.They reduce your nervous urge to eat. 4.They soothe and satisfy your vital organs.
