We all live in an age saturated with fad diets and overnight success scams. One diet that has sustained the test of time, while offering veritable health benefits is the shot of olive oil per day diet. No scams, no book to buy, and no infomercial, yet amazingly, it does work.
To start, olive oil is rich in both Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acid. Olive oil contains the critical ratio of these two fatty acids, allowing the consumer to enjoy benefits such as improved liver, kidney, and heart function, as well as a reduction in the chances of contracting cardiovascular disease.
Also, olive oil has been proven to act as a powerful anti irritant. It is said the potency and chemical profile of the active ingredients in olive oil are similar to ibuprofen. Next time you are feeling a bit hungover, try hair of the dog with a shot of olive oil to cure your ails.
