16. Olive Oil
Olive oil is a necessary ingredient in the Mediterranean diet and for good reason. It can help reduce your risk of developing heart disease because the fatty acids in the oil promote circulatory health.
Like a lot of healthy foods, olive oil isn’t cheap. If you find an inexpensive olive oil, it’s probably not 100% olive oil, so it won’t offer you the same health benefits. Therefore, it’s recommended to purchase the most expensive olive oil that you can afford.
