“Red wine and green olive oil–rich in antioxidants–led to an improvement in the postprandial (after the meal) endothelial function in healthy subjects.\u00a0 These findings provide an additional favorable effect of components of the Mediterranean diet and of their antioxidant substances on endothelial function, at the postprandial (after meal) state.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The salads all tasted the same to me,” says Brown. But when
\nresearchers went back and analyzed the blood samples they realized that
\npeople who had eaten fat-free dressings didn’t absorb the
\nbeneficial carotenoids from the salad. Only when they had eaten the
\noil-based dressing did they get the nutrients.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

I seems so long since last I posted–and I’ve got so much to share–and far too little time in which to do it.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I just got back from New York City,\u00a0 getting my “gorgeous grandson fix”.\u00a0 And my son and daughter-in-law and my Bob\/Babs fix, as well!\u00a0 65 degrees, blue skies, and plenty of stroller time.\u00a0 And plenty of delicious home-cooked vegan meals!<\/p>\n

So, here’s number one<\/strong> on my list of must-share health news!\u00a0

A little bit of green olive oil can be good for you.\u00a0 A little bit of red wine can be good for you.\u00a0 Just be sure to mix them together.

“Oh yeah,” you say, “We already knew that.”\u00a0 Well, it’s not so simple.\u00a0 Let me explain.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
