Olive oil and the skin mitochondria
- Olive oil has a bioactive component called high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil
- Polyphenols protect against oxidative damage and improve mitochondrial dysfunction
- Olive oil polyphenols are anti inflammatory, anti proliferative, antioxidant, antimicrobial properties
- And has effects on cancer, diabetes, skin diseases, neurological & cardiovascular dx

- Triggers production of collagen in skin preventing wrinkles, fine lines; improving elasticity and dry skin;
- Protects from harmful sun rays
- The triacylglycerol is rich in oleic acid (a monounsaturated fatty acid)
Avocado oil and brain mitochondria / kidney mitochondria
- Includes carotenoids, tocopherols, chlorophylls, and oleic acid
- Increases neural glutathione , omega 3 fats and monounsaturated fats
- Avocado leaves are very good for UTIs
Avocado oil and liver mitochondria
- Improves the ETC (electron transport chain – that produces the ATP)
- Decrease oxidative stress, inflammation, NAFLD and improves mitochondrial function
- Helps to regulate triglycerides and cholesterol in the liver
