On World Heart Day, Oleic Acid From Olive Oil Can Reduce Risk of Coronary Heart Disease

September 27, 2019

MADRID, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — On World Heart Day, created to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and its consequences, the Olive Oil Makes a Tastier World promotional initiative of Olive Oils from Spain, in collaboration with the European Union, reminds us that eating an inadequate diet is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors.

To view the Multimedia News Release, please click: https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8616051-olive-oil-fight-coronary-heart-disease/

Oleic acid, the main component of olive oils, is an ally against this type of ailment since it is a monounsaturated fat that, when it substitutes the consumption of fats and oils rich in saturated fatty acids, can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. To achieve that healthy benefit, the FDA recommends daily consumption of about 20 grams of olive oil/oleic acid, the equivalent of a tablespoon and a half.

“We have been able to verify that consuming 40 ml a day of extra virgin olive oil, within a Mediterranean diet, can reduce vascular complications by more than 30%,” said Ramón Estruch, coordinator of the PREDIMED Study, the most influential in the world about food and health. This multicenter trial (conducted in Spain between 2003-2010) found the benefits of consuming extra virgin olive oil to be within the framework of a healthy diet.

About Spanish Olive Oil Interprofessional

Olive Oils from Spain is the promotional brand of the Spanish Olive Oil Interprofessional, a non-profit organization formed by all the representative associations of the Spanish olive oil sector, and whose main objective is the dissemination of the healthy product internationally. With the “Olive Oil World Tour” campaign as a tool, it has proposed to make the world a place with more flavor and urges consumers to join the European way of life (Join the European Healthy Lifestyle with Olive Oils from Spain. Olive Oil Makes to Tastier World) – a campaign that has the collaboration of the European Union.

AARP Collaborates With The Hispanic Heritage Foundation To Recognize Latino Trailblazers And Leaders Making Nationwide Impact

September 27, 2019

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — AARP, the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age, will sponsor the 32^nd Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards to honor talented and accomplished leaders, artists and professional athletes of Hispanic descent that are making a positive impact in society. AARP also will present the Hispanic Heritage Award for Film to Mexican Actor, Writer and Producer, Eugenio Derbez. The Hispanic Heritage Foundation will host the awards on October 1^st at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, D.C. and will be broadcast nationally by PBS affiliates on October 11^th.

“AARP is a long-time supporter of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and its mission, and it is always a great honor to be part of a celebration that recognizes the contributions of Latino leaders from diverse backgrounds,” states Yvette Peña, Vice President of Multicultural Leadership. “This year, we are especially thrilled to present this film award to Eugenio Derbez. His career is admirable and spans four decades, and he continues to reinvent himself, both personally and professionally, in an industry that is known for limiting people’s opportunities as they age. In many ways, his work aligns with AARP’s Cincuentañeros^® movement.”

Through the Cincuentañeros movement, AARP aims to change the conversation on aging and promotes a more contemporary perspective to help the Latino community celebrate life, learn from one another and feel empowered at any life stage. The goal is to change outdated beliefs on aging and encourage people across generations to live life sin cuenta (without counting or at any age).

The Hispanic Heritage Awards were established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan to commemorate the creation of Hispanic Heritage Month in America. Since that time, the Hispanic Heritage Awards are considered among the highest honors for Hispanics by Hispanics. Top Latino performers and personalities pay tribute to the Honorees from the stage. The Awards are unique in that celebrities take the stage along with educators, innovators, community and business leaders, elected officials, and others. The Awards are supported by nearly 40 national Hispanic-serving institutions who co-host the program. Surrounding events include an Honorees Dinner, Youth Leadership Summit and festive After-Party. Following the live show, PBS will broadcast the taped program on its stations on October 11^th during Hispanic Heritage Month.

About AARP:
AARP is the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age. With a nationwide presence and nearly 38 million members, AARP strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to families: health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.
