New research is helping explain why olive oil has long been associated with better metabolic health. Studies show that olive oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil, may improve insulin sensitivity by helping regulate genes involved in how the body processes sugar and fat. Its healthy fats and powerful polyphenols can help reduce inflammation, support efficient fat metabolism, and improve the body's response to insulin. These findings reinforce the benefits of incorporating olive oil into a Mediterranean-style diet to support healthy blood sugar levels and overall wellness.
