1. It’s good for your sex life

Olive oil boosts circulation to all areas of the body, including those hard to reach erogenous zones.

2. Weight loss secret weapon

Mediterraneans use twenty liters of extra virgin olive oil every year and most still aren’t fat. A diet rich in extra virgin olive oil may deliver greater and longer lasting weight loss results than a low-fat diet.

3. Diabetes deterrent

Eating extra virgin olive oil as part of a balanced diet may help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes as well as controlling blood levels. Extra virgin helps “regulate and balance our insulin levels, so you’re not really having those spikes.”

4. Pain relief

Extra virgin olive oil contains a substance called oleocanthal, which has anti-inflammatory agents, meaning olive oil is like a natural Ibuprofen. Research increasingly suggests inflammation impacts a number of chronic diseases, so olive oil’s anti-inflammatory properties grow more compelling all the time.

5. Skin health

Extra virgin olive oil helps with anti-aging, osteoporosis and skin damage. “One that’s proven is that it adds a protective coating on the skin, both through consumption and application.”

6. Mental agility

Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat, which research suggests helps prevent or slow down the cognitive
decline associated with
diseases like Alzheimer’s.

7. It strengthens your immune system

Loaded with antioxidants – vital for strengthening and protecting your immune system – extra virgin olive oil may help you become more resistant to infection. This wide range of important antioxidants isn’t found in other oils but you will find the chemistry numbers at Fusions Taster’s Choice.

8. It keeps your body running smoothly

It’s not just vehicles that benefit from a regular oil change; extra virgin olive oil contributes to the operational health of such vital areas as the stomach, pancreas and intestines.

9. Pregnancy aid

Not only can olive oil application assist in avoiding stretch marks, consuming extra virgin olive oil while pregnant may improve your child’s psychomotor reflexes and more.

10. Longevity

Since extra virgin olive oil assists in the prevention and/or reduced impact of so many diseases – including certain cancers – it’s no exaggeration to say it may even help you live longer. Not bad for something that’s also delicious.
