Abstract:

Hyperlipidemia is a widespread illness that is mostly responsible for coronary heart diseases and develops due to changes in plasma lipid transport, lipid metabolism, or the production and breakdown of plasma lipoproteins. Additionally, it can develop as a side effect of the metabolic syndromeand includes obesity, hyperglycemia, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. It has drawn the interest of different scholars and medical professionals as a critical public health-related issue. By adopting healthy lifestyles and good eating habits one can manage the hypercholesterolemia and the related health disorders. Despite recent advancements in medicine, more focus is now being placed on plant-based therapies because they are more widely accessible, less expensive, convenient, and have less adverse effects than synthetic medications. The fruit oil known as extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a rich source of monounsaturated fats and efficient antioxidants. With the administration of EVOO, a considerable reduction in plasma lipid levels has been observed due to its hypolipidemic effects. Olive oil supplementation lowers serum triglycerides, normalizes liver enzyme biomarkers, and dramatically reduces the deposition of fat droplets in the liver. Extra virgin olive oil has the potential to be a useful food source of antioxidants that can reduce the incidence of liver damage and cardiovascular illnesses.
