Greek Pasta Salad
Did you know that in Mediterranean countries such as Greece, southern Italy, and Spain, the rate of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s is low? Scientist say it is due to their diet, specifically a diet that includes tons of extra virgin olive oil! The brain is rich in monounsaturated fats, which form the brain’s myelin sheath and guess what olive oil is? A monounsaturated fat! Makes sense right!? That’s why the dressing in this Greek pasta salad is mainly extra virgin olive oil!
