 Dear Reader,
Summer is finally here and at last we can enjoy all the delicious foods the warmer weather brings.
For instance, is anything better than a farm-fresh organic tomato with a few shreds of basil and a drizzle of olive oil?
That's a mighty fruit, right there. Oh, yeah, the tomato is, sure. But I'm really talking about that olive. And two studies I read recently reminded me why we should all be paying more attention to this powerful little fruit.
First, it's amazing what a little daily drizzle of olive oil can do for your heart. That drizzle of olive oil not only sends that already-delicious tomato into the taste stratosphere, but making it a daily thing can do big things for your heart.
A study involving researchers from five European universities found that a daily dose of olive oil may boost levels of an antibody that, by countering oxidized LDL cholesterol, helps reduce the risk of hardened arteries and heart disease.
Not bad for a little bit of oil, huh?
The real action comes from the polyphenols in the olive oil. In various studies, they've been shown to have anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties. In this most recent study, the more polyphenols the participants consumed, the greater the increase in the heart-helping antibody.
The second study is, I confess, not about the fruit itself, but serves as an illustration of just how powerful the whole plant is. In it, an olive leaf extract was found to be an effective treatment of high blood pressure. In fact, this study showed it was just as effective as a common patent medicine!
Participants in the study showed a significant reduction in blood pressure after 8 weeks taking 500 mg of the extract twice daily. They also showed a significant reduction in triglyceride levels.

Slippery fish, slippery blood
Q: My doctor wants me to take Coumadin (warfarin) to help me thin my blood and prevent blood clots. Are there any natural alternatives that do the job as well, but with fewer side effects?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: Cod liver oil (or any other fish oil) is a very effective natural alternative to Coumadin. It works by making blood platelets so slippery that they can't stick together to form a clot. And, unlike Coumadin, the worst "side effects" associated with fish oil are its taste (although there are more pleasant-tasting varieties available) and potential gastrointestinal upset if the whole dose is taken all at once.
I usually recommend 2 to 3 tablespoons of fish oil per day. And any time I recommend fish oil, I also recommend extra vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols), to prevent the oils from oxidizing too rapidly in the body. Take 800-1,000 IU of vitamin E along with the other fish oil each day. The total daily amount can be split up into two or three doses, to avoid the possibility of the gastrointestinal upset I mentioned above.
But before switching over to cod liver oil, it's important to consult a physician skilled and knowledgeable in nutritional and natural medicine to develop a plan that is best for your particular needs.
