Healthy eating is in vogue today . Everywhere around us there is talk about a healthy lifestyle, about the proper preparation of the food you consume, about the benefits and harms of various foods. We will pay attention to one really useful among them - olive oil - the most popular and preferred in seasoning and cooking. Why is it so valuable? How does it help to sculpt and maintain a slim figure? We will try to answer these questions.
This unique product is a source of vitamins K, B, D, F, C, A and E, which stop the action of toxic free radicals and rejuvenate the body both internally and externally. But the most valuable in it are unsaturated fatty acids, whose benefits are undeniable. Oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids are the basis of olive oil. Those who want to strengthen their blood vessels, improve their eyesight, reduce the risk of developing cancer, to prevent infertility, should include the product in their main menu.
Among other things, olive oil is an excellent means of weight loss , despite its high caloric content inherent in all types of oils. This is due to the fact that it is 100% absorbed by the body and has a beneficial effect on it.
Women should use the product regularly because it is a source of youth, its internal and / or external application softens the skin and gives it a healthy look, olive oil has a rejuvenating effect and fine wrinkles disappear. You do not need to spend money on one or another anti-wrinkle cream, the effect of which is not entirely certain, provided that you have an absolutely affordable and completely natural high-quality product.
Olive oil also helps with pregnancy problems, because the unsaturated fatty acids in its composition normalize the work of the gonads, thus contributing to conception.
And we come to the no less exciting question of weight loss for modern man. A big plus of olive oil in the fight against weight gainis that using it with food, you can forget about the painful diets, which, although giving good results, are harmful to health, disrupting metabolism, depriving you of essential vitamins and minerals. After a month of using olive oil, climbing the scales, you will see that you have lost 3 or even 5 pounds of weight without restricting your diet. And in order to achieve the best effect and athletically sexy look, start with simple physical exercises that will tone you and keep you in great shape. One more thing: the results will not be short-lived (as after most diets), on the contrary - you will feel light as a feather for a long time, because your body will be completely cleansed and saturated with nutrients.
We all know perfectly well that we allow ourselves to gain weight on our slender figure. This is due to frequent meals between main meals. Overeating and gluttony further intensify the accumulation of extra pounds and metabolic disorders. To avoid all this, you need to control the amount of food consumed, namely olive oil is an excellent helper for this purpose.
A New York scientist has discovered that the oleic acid present in olive oil contributes to the production of oleoylethanolamide, an unusual substance that sends nerve impulses to the brain, announcing that the body has already eaten and can eat. People with low levels of oleoylethanolamide cannot control their appetite and consume large amounts of food.
Olive oil interacts with the intestinal mucosa, catalyzes the production of oleoylethanolamide, resulting in less food than before and the feeling of hunger does not appear for a long time, which in turn makes us forget about harmless snacks and fast food - there is simply no need for them.
To regain your weight and get rid of toxins and toxins, you should take olive oil on an empty stomach, initially 1 tsp and gradually increase the dose to 1 tbsp for the morning intake. Then in no case should you eat or drink anything for 40-50 minutes. If desired, an additional intake of 1 tablespoon of the product in the evening can be included.
Olive oil can be used to flavor salads and various dishes, in it you can cook eggs, meat, fish, stew vegetables and more.
You need to choose the right product, because if you come across a poor quality one, not only will you not achieve the desired result, but you also risk harming your body. There are two types of olive oil: refined and unrefined. Of course, the one that has not been subjected to any heat treatment is more useful - ie. the unrefined. It retains the maximum amount of useful substances.
For frying, choose the refined version, without worrying that harmful carcinogens will be formed. But for weight loss such a product is not useful, because in it in practice the useful substances are not stored.
When entering the store, do not grab the first olive oil in front of your eyes , but pay attention to the label, which must have a date of manufacture (not to be confused with the date of bottling) and type of product, in our case - unrefined olive oil. .
Trust nature and be healthy and beautiful!
