Did you know that the by-product of Olive oil has antioxidating qualities?

A new research suggests that an organic byproduct of olive oil production may have antioxidant effects and benefit physical activityThe study is the first to examine the advantages of natural olive fruit water for those who engage in physical activity and it was conducted by nutritionists at Anglia Ruskin University ARU and published in the journal NutrientsOlive fruit water is a waste product derived from producing olive oil Olives contain polyphenols which have antioxidant properties and a commercially available olive fruit water product called OliPhenolia contains a number of phenolic compounds and is particularly rich in hydroxytyrosolThe first study into its potential benefits for people who exercise involved 29 recreationally active participants who consumed either OliPhenolia or a placebo matched for taste and appearance over 16 consecutive days and it found positive effects on several key markers of running performanceOliPhenolia consumption improved respiratory parameters at the onset of exercise as well as oxygen consumption and running economy at lower levels of intensity lactate threshold 1Respiratory parameters at a higher intensity lactate threshold 2 were largely unaffected but perceived exertion how hard participants thought their body was working was improved as was acute recovery following incremental exerciseLead author Dr Justin Roberts Associate Professor in Health amp Exercise Nutrition at Anglia Ruskin University ARU said For a long time Ive been interested in the exercise benefits of polyphenols such as those derived from cherries and beetroot You would have to consume large quantities daily to gain similar benefits from olives which isnt realistic so we were keen to test this concentrated olive fruit waterLike olive oil it contains hydroxytyrosol but this olive fruit water is a sustainable byproduct Its typically thrown away during the production of olive oil and we found a company in Italy Fattoria La Vialla a biodynamic farm in Tuscany that decided to turn this wastewater into a dietary supplementOurs is the first study to investigate the use of this olive fruit water in an exercise setting and we found that 16 days of supplementation could have a positive influence on aerobic exercise most notably at submaximal levelsWe found that reduced oxygen cost and improved running economy as well as improvements in acute recovery indicate it could potentially benefit those undertaking regular aerobic exercise trainingWe now intend to carry out further research at Anglia Ruskin University to corroborate these findings We are also looking to investigate whether this product can be used for marathon training and recovery as well as test its effectiveness in suppressing inflammation associated with exerciseRead More Avocado Aloe vera and Olive oil 8 masks to get a glowing skin in winterThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
