Health Guru Dr Tim Spector is a huge advocate of unfiltered high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil.

Tim Spector, the health guru, is a huge advocate of improving our gut health to super charge our overall health. In a recent article with the Independent he talked about how high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil is key super food in his weekly shopping basket. He is particularly a fan unfiltered EVOO with his current brand of choice being Honest Toil.

Tim believes people should seriously increase their olive oil consumption to improve their gut health and reduce diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cancer. But it needs to be a high quality high polyphenol olive oil and not the cheap supermarket brands.

EVOO Gut health benefits

High polyphenol olive oil's gut-related benefits are primarily tied to its high content of healthy fats and polyphenols.

• Prebiotic effects: The polyphenols in EVOO function as prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.

• Anti-inflammatory: EVOO and its polyphenols can help reduce inflammation in the gut lining, which can help with gastrointestinal issues.

• Constipation relief: Studies show that consuming a small amount of olive oil daily can improve constipation symptoms.

• Antibacterial properties: The polyphenols in EVOO also have antibacterial properties that can help protect against pathogens.

While Tim is a fan of unfiltered EVOO, there are no key differences in health benefits between unfiltered and filtered EVOO - it is very much about personal taste preference.
