Some people in Greece drink 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil & warm lemon water in the morning for weight loss & health. They absolutely swear by it for keeping hunger pangs in check, helping with body maintenance, health & longevity.
1.  Take it for pain relief.
The Monell Chemical Senses Center found that Ibuprofen & EVOO have the same kind of anti-inflammatory properties. EVOO has a high quotient of polyphenols, a type of antioxidant.

2.  EVOO has less accidental carcinogens.
The smoke point of EVOO is almost 400 degrees, which is much higher than other popular cooking oils like canola (200 degrees), or corn and non-virgin olive oils around 320 degrees each. According to the Cleveland Clinic, "Heating oil above its smoke point, the temperature at which the oil begins to smoke, produces toxic fumes & harmful free radicals.

3.  Olive oil is full of healthy fats.
If a recipe calls for canola oil or butter, you can swap in olive oil. According to our food editor, use about 3/4 the amount listed, and you'll cut back on calories, saturated fats, & bad cholesterol.

4.  "Light" doesn't necessarily mean healthier.
Every olive oil has the same cholesterol & fat content, and they all have around 120 calories per tablespoon. A bottle classified as "light" is referring to the oil's color & flavor.

5.  Be careful.  Labels can lie.
The University of California conducted a study in 2012 that showed over 65% of the EVOO found on grocery store shelves did not test as “Extra Virgin”, even though they were labeled that way, and instead contained other oils as fillers, and for additional color & flavoring.

6.  Olive oil can expire.
Bright supermarkets can speed up the oxidation process if the oil sits there too long, and it can go rancid. As long as it’s stored away from heat & light, an unopened bottle of good quality olive oil should last for up to 2 years from its bottling date. Once you open it, you should use it all in a few months.

7.  You can use it to clear acne.
Make a paste by mixing 4 tablespoons salt with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Pour the mixture onto your hands & work it around your face. Leave it on for a minute or 2, then rinse it off with warm, soapy water. Apply daily for 1 week, then cut back to 2 or 3 times weekly. You should see a noticeable improvement in your condition.
