Olive oil, a key component of a Mediterranean-style diet, has provided health benefits for millennia. Mono-unsaturated fat give olive oil anti-oxidant properties, lowering the risk of colon cancer, incidence of heart disease, and type-2 diabetes.
Because ingesting olive oil enriches the skin and soft tissues, and is an anti-inflammatory, it also helps in treating gum disease which, due to the correlation between oral and whole-body health, improves your overall well-being.
Extra virgin olive oil is the highest in anti-oxidants because it's less processed. And, because of it flavor, processing method, and beneficial properties, it is the only variety of vegetable oil that nutritionists suggest be ingested as is (without being cooked). Simply taking two tablespoons per day will help you look after your whole health while taking care of your oral health! Give it a try!
