Olive oil has long become famous as one of the healthiest foods. It is actively used in medicine, nutrition and cosmetology

OLIVE OIL AND LUPUS

​​

Olive oil also provides a huge amount of nutrients to our body, protecting it from the many effects of chronic diseases. All you have to do is simply include olive oil in your daily diet. You can also use it as a salad dressing. It is also a good idea to use olive oil for cooking and frying instead of rapeseed oil or other types of fat.

In addition to adding olive oil to your diet, you should also avoid eating sugars. This can help prevent the characteristic red patches of the skin caused by systemic lupus erythematosus.

The pros and cons of olive oil: how to choose

To ensure the benefits of olive oil, you need to choose the right product. How To Do So, let's get familiar with a number of rules that will help you make the right choice.

1 . Olive oil, like the rest, can be refined and unrefined. All useful substances are stored only with minimal thermal effect. Thus, preference is given to unrefined oil. For example, for the ideal oil production, one of the most fertile provinces of Spain, Seville, where a special variety of olives ripens, has been selected. As thousands of years ago, Ideal is produced by direct extraction without the addition of preservatives or impurities.

2 . In addition, on the packaging you can often find one of the three inscriptions - virgin (natural), refined (peeled) or sweet (cake). Buy the first option.

3 . If the word mix is ​​written on the label of the oil, it means that it was produced by mixing different varieties of oils, which negatively affects its properties.

4 . The beneficial properties of olive oil last for five months, so you should pay close attention to the date of manufacture of the product.

5 . The lower the acidity of the oil, the sweeter the taste. For the highest quality olive oil varieties, this figure is only 0.8%.​

6. The best olive oil is produced and bottled in the same region. You can find out the origin of the product by the designation IGP or DOP. IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) means that the olive was extracted in a country, for example, Greece or Spain and that the oil was already packaged outside these regions. The abbreviation DOP (Denominazione of Origin Protetta) indicates that the oil is produced and packaged in the same country. 

7. Do not try to determine the quality of the oil by its color, factors such as the grade of the olives, their degree of ripeness, and the time of harvest affect this property.

8. The best properties of olive oil are kept in glass containers. 

ADVANTAGES OF OLIVE OIL

​

Olive oil is credited with so many healing properties that it is hard to believe that a product is capable of all of this. So let's see what are the benefits of "liquid gold".

Being one of the basic components of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil has a positive effect on the digestive system. The secret lies in the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids in the product, especially oleic acid, which lowers blood cholesterol. Olive oil is easily absorbed by the body, reduces appetite, accelerates metabolism, and has a beneficial effect on the stomach.

Regular consumption of olive oil is an excellent prevention of cardiovascular disease: it strengthens the blood vessels and makes them more elastic.

Most of the drugs that help lower blood pressure are made from olive leaves. In addition, olive oil has a beneficial effect on bone tissue, preventing the loss of calcium, which makes the product particularly valuable for children. 

The advantage of olive oil also lies in the fact that linoleic acid, which is a part of it, contributes to the rapid healing of wounds and burns, it is also useful for maintaining muscle tone and normal functioning body tissue. In addition, linoleic acid produces a beneficial effect on vision and motor coordination. Not a hundred years ago, our ancestors discovered that olive oil could help in the treatment of psychological disorders.

But one of the most amazing beneficial properties of olive oil, proven by many studies, is that it reduces the risk of developing malignant tumors, especially breast cancer. Oleic acid, vitamins and antioxidants, which are part of the oil, inhibit the development of cancer cells, or rather, they eliminate toxins which, among other factors, affect cell mutation.

The benefits and harms of olive oil: olive oil for beauty

Not only doctors, but also cosmetologists, who actively include this product in face, hair and body creams, masks and balms, have evaluated the benefits of olive oil.

Even in ancient times, beauties used olive oil as a cleanser, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizer for the facial skin. The oil mask is an anti-aging agent that helps reduce fine lines caused by unique substances - squalene and squalane.

Phenols slow the aging process, making the skin smooth and silky, and olive oil protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.

For hair, olive oil is also a miracle cure. Everyone knows the recipe for the simplest nourishing hair mask: you need to mix olive oil and sunflower oil in equal proportions and add an egg yolk or a teaspoon of honey. As a result, the hair will gain the luxurious shine and strength that makes the curls of Spanish and Italian women famous, regularly practicing such masks and consuming olive oil as food. A healthy appearance and shine of the hair ensure the saturation of olive oil with vitamins A and E.

We can only mention another nice property of olive oil - it is often used for massage and rubbing. The oil softens and hydrates the skin, accelerates the eliminatioon of harmful substances and improves the secretion of the glands.
