According to the report, people who opted for half a tablespoon of olive oil a day had a 28% lower risk of dying from dementia in comparison to those who rarely consumed the natural product. 

With olive oil being the main component for the Mediterranean diet, the study indicated a positive impact on the brain, heart and bones.
