I have always heard about how beneficial the best quality extra virgin olive oil is and that’s why most doctors refer to use this particular ingredient in cooking, salad dressing, and even in preparing some other foods.

Olive oil is extracted from the olives using two main methods- hot pressing extraction and cold press extraction. Out of these two, I chose the cold pressed olive oil because due to the absence of heat, all the antioxidants and the nutrients like tocopherols, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and others are retained within the oil itself. That’s why the benefits of using the cold pressed olive oil are unparalleled.

From my own experience, I can tell that every dollar that you will spend for buying the ingredient will be worthy. Just to share my story, I have listed down some of the benefits that I have experienced in real life.

Reduces inflammations in the body

My mother was suffering from arthritis and that’s why the tendons in her knees always remained swollen. Even though she was taking medicines, I didn’t see any change. But since I switched my cooking oil and started using the olive oil, her complains about aching knees have reduced a lot. In fact, now she can walk easily without having to whimper in pain with every step she takes.

Helps in lowering the cholesterol levels

My father had a heart surgery and doctor suggested us to give him low cholesterol foods. But most of the vegetable oils used in cooking have high fat which increases the LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. I knew I couldn’t use the usual cooking oils which is why I bought the best extra virgin olive oil. After a few months when I did a routine check, his cholesterol levels were within normal range.

Is a great ingredient for weight loss

Unlike the normal cooking oils, olive oil helps in losing more weight at a faster rate by increasing the metabolic rate. I was able to lose 10 pounds in five days when I started an oil-free diet and used the extra virgin cold pressed olive oil mainly as the cooking medium.

Boosts the growth of healthy hair

With the help of the best quality extra virgin olive oil, I was able to have a healthy hair. The hair fall rate reduced a lot and I could feel my hair strands becoming softer and smoother. In fact, I used a hair pack using the olive oil and after washing the scalp, there was no trace of dandruff.

Moisturizes the skin and keeps it plump

I suffer from dry and scaly skin during winters. Cracks develop on my face, hands, and even on my legs. I use normal body oil to keep my skin hydrated but the same can’t be used on face. That’s why I used face packs with olive oil in it. After about three to five usage, I could feel the cracks going away and my skin becoming supple and soft.

Conclusion

Thanks to the best extra virgin olive oil, I was able to improve the health of my family and myself. Since I chose the cold pressed oil, the effectiveness was improved due to the high nutrient content of the oil.
