Olive Oil?
By MOLLY HARRIS
Olive oil can help with inflammation, weight loss, and blood sugar regulation, it’s good for skin and hair, and it may even have properties to ward against cancer. It’s no wonder that drinking olive oil is a popular health trend that many people choose to follow.
While olive oil boasts quite a few appealing health benefits, there are some stipulations on how much olive oil you should drink. Freshest Olive Oil suggests starting with a small amount of olive oil and working your way up to ¼ cup a day, keeping in mind that this will contain almost 500 calories.
Additionally, it is always important to talk to your doctor before making changes to your diet or supplements. One of the risks with drinking olive oil is an upset stomach and digestive tract, but even if it is not the most appetizing ritual for some, it's well worth considering a shot of olive oil every so often to bolster your health.
