While olive oil may be more expensive than other oils, its numerous uses and benefits both in the kitchen and for personal care, make it an irreplaceable ingredient.
In the kitchen, olive oil is particularly useful for those suffering from certain conditions.
European olive oil, produced by following very high-quality standards and strict quality controls, can help with: “
- gastritis or heartburn: it attenuates the acidity of gastric juices.
- tiredness and fatigue: it nourishes the nervous system".
Olive oil can be used: "raw on vegetables (a teaspoonful) or as a condiment during cooking. It is also good for frying because it does not cause the formation of harmful substances in the balance of cells.”
The aforementioned insights are provided by the specialized magazine in physical and mental wellness “Riza”. The magazine highlights how “peanut and corn oils are the riskiest. Peanut seed oil is atherogenic, so it causes the formation of cholesterol plaques on the arteries, predisposing to atherosclerosis. Because it cannot be cold-pressed, the extraction of corn oil necessarily requires chemical manipulations."
For personal care, olive oil helps you maintain your hair and skin bright and smooth: “Olive oil is a concentrate of essential vitamins for young and elastic skin: vitamin E, which is nourishing and vitamin A, which actively prevents wrinkles. Hence, olive oil is an excellent serum with anti-aging effects on the skin. Also, applying olive oil after rubbing the scalp with nettle juice, can help prevent hair loss.”
