Olive oil, pine nuts and fish provide a favourable fatty acid spectrum: polyunsaturated fats contribute to the health of our joints, eyes, skin, heart and brain, while monounsaturated fats "clean" the so-called bad cholesterol from the blood vessels, which then cannot be deposited for arteriosclerosis.
