Hojiblanca knows how serious heart diseases are in the United States, especially when it comes to women. In fact, heart disease is the number one killer of women in the US. It is also a leading cause of disability among women. Nearly 1 in every 2 American women has high or borderline high cholesterol. The older a woman gets, the more likely she is to get heart disease which is why it’s so important to start eating healthy at an earlier age.

Extra virgin olive oil is powerful because of its anti-inflammatory antioxidants. Also, its capacity to increase the regeneration of the endothelium: a thin layer of flat epithelial cells that lines serous cavities, lymph vessels, and blood vessel which is fundamental in reducing the risk of heart problems such as “Arteriosclerosis” known as the hardening of the arteries. “Adding good quality extra virgin olive oil to one’s diet and exercising are ways to prevent heart diseases. Watch our segment to learn how important it is to choose a good olive oil,” said Enrique Escudero, CEO of Hojiblanca USA, Inc.

Below are the three heart healthy recipes that will be showcased on the segment. They are easy to make, and most importantly good for the heart. (Pictures attached in the email).
