Miraculous Benefits of Olive Oil
I'm sure there is no one left who hasn't read about the miraculous benefits of olive oil. You may think that it is not very convincing and that it is exaggerated. I am from the Aegean region by birth and raised, and for as long as I can remember, there has been no oil other than olive oil on our table. We spent our childhood among olive trees. We use olive oil not only in salads but also in all our meals, cakes and pastries. Its so-called miraculous benefits are truly true and are not exaggerated. So, if you are wondering what these benefits are, here you go;
1*Olive oil is very beneficial for the skin. Since it contains high amounts of vitamin E, it prevents the formation of wrinkles on the skin, and when applied to wounds on the skin, it kills microbes and has a healing effect. But please make sure that the oil you will use is natural. You have all heard that recently, under the name of natural and famous brands, they use different oils in olive oil. A few drops of olive oil applied to your cold-dry skin will both soften and moisturize your skin. I have a mixture that I use in winter. I put some bepanthen plus, a few drops of olive oil and a few drops of lemon in a small glass container, mix it and apply it to my face at night. My skin becomes soft, it is very good for blemishes and wrinkles, and it is very economical.
2* Olive oil is good for cholesterol.
3*Olive oil prevents stomach disorders. Put natural dried figs in a jar and add some olive oil on top. Eat one piece every morning on an empty stomach. It is very good for your digestive system and excretory system disorders.
4*Olive oil protects bone health. You can apply it to your sore arm, leg, or elbow.
5*Olive oil facilitates weight loss.
6*Olive oil is very beneficial for our hair. For those who complain that their hair is not thick, massage your scalp regularly with a few drops of olive oil for 5-10 minutes. Also, choose olive oil soap instead of chemical-containing shampoos, for both your skin and hair. Those with dry hair can also massage their hair with olive oil.
7*Olive oil protects mental health. As you know, one of the most important problems today is excessive stress and, accordingly, depression. The saying "A man is what he eats" is a true saying. You, too, will see the miraculous benefits of olive oil that you use regularly both in your meals and on your skin.
