Not to mention, Italian food is one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. With its vast array of cooking styles, food groups and ingredients, it’s hard to look past the health benefits Italian cooking possesses. High in fibre, Italian cuisine has been found to be effective in lowering cholesterol and stabilising blood pressure. Even olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and chock-full of omega fatty acids and antioxidants, which are great in protecting the body from heart disease.
