What if a simple, discreet but effective gesture could increase your energy, improve digestion and even help you shine when you wake up? Some customs originating in the Mediterranean are becoming increasingly popular, including drinking a tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach. This health ritual, as simple as it is ancient, is said to have countless benefits. Curious? We tell you about it.
Olive oil, a treasure trove of benefits in the kitchen
We love its flavor in salads and summer dishes, but did you know that olive oil also has valuable benefits for our body? Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins, it is a mainstay of the Mediterranean diet, known for its protective effects on health.
If you choose a high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, this golden oil will become your daily ally in the fight against oxidative stress, inflammation and cellular aging. The good news is that these effects are even more significant when consumed on an empty stomach.
