De rol van olijfolie in een dieet in Bryan Johnson's Blueprint protocol

Health expert Bryan Johnson is known for his quest for eternal vitality. But did you know that a simple ingredient like extra virgin olive oil plays a key role in achieving this? The right olive oil, rich in antioxidants and healthy fats, not only supports your health but can even help slow the aging process.

Since January 1st, the documentary " Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever" about him has been airing on Netflix. This American entrepreneur and health expert has strict requirements for everything he eats—especially his extra virgin olive oil. Why? Because the right olive oil is packed with antioxidants that protect your body and support your health.

At Casa Gomez, we believe in the health benefits of olive oil, which we wrote a health blog about earlier this year. In this blog post, we'll explain Bryan Johnson's olive oil standards and how our products meet these standards, making them truly delicious olive oils.

Bryan Johnson's Quality Requirements for Olive Oil

Bryan Johnson has strict requirements for the olive oil he includes in his diet. Besides selling olive oil himself, he's open about his quality standards for healthy olive oil. These are the most important criteria:

Cold Pressed: Retains maximum nutrients and antioxidants.
High Polyphenol Content (>400 mg/kg): Essential for antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory action.
Low Acidity (<0.3%): Indicator of freshness and quality of the olive oil.
Low Peroxide Value (<9 meq/kg): Confirms that the oil is not oxidized and therefore remains fresh.
UV Protective Packaging: Protects against light damage, thus preserving quality for longer.
Recent Harvest: Fresh olive oil contains more flavor and nutrients.

Which Casa Gomez olive oils meet these requirements?

We've compared our olive oils against these strict requirements. Here's a handy overview of which olive oils meet these standards:

Requirements for olive oil according to Bryan Johnson Blueprint protocol and olive oil from Casa Gomez

All our olive oils are cold-pressed, rich in polyphenols, have low acidity and peroxide levels, and are packaged in UV-protective bottles. Oro de Genave contains the lowest antioxidant content of our range, yet still boasts an impressive polyphenol content of 450 to 550 mg/kg.

Most of our olive oils are currently unavailable because they either still need to be bottled or are still being harvested. What we do have in stock has been recently bottled and carefully stored under oxygen-reduced conditions to ensure quality.
