Olive oil is a source of health benefits. Many studies have shown its multiple benefits for the body, and nutrition experts recommend making it the main source of fat in our diet. In addition, consuming it on an empty stomach can improve this already healthy intake.
Olive oil contains essential antioxidants and nutrients, such as unsaturated fatty acids, which are improved by the body to fast. These are some of its benefits.
Five benefits of fasting olive oil:
1. An ally for weight loss
The oleic acid in olive oil acts as a regulator of appetite, causing a feeling of fullness. Taking olive oil as a food supplement can therefore be a valuable asset during a specific diet to lose weight.
2. Improves digestion and relieves constipation
Taking a teaspoon of olive oil every day on an empty stomach improves digestion and relieves constipation. Its components have a slight laxative effect that helps to regulate intestinal transit.
3. 3. Prevents gastritis and ulcers
The polyphenols in olive oil also help to prevent gastritis and the appearance of stomach ulcers. How? By fighting the bacterium “Helicobacter pylori”, combined with a large proportion of stomach ulcers and a large number of chronic gastrites, as demonstrated by a team of researchers at the Higher Centre for Scientific Research (CSIC). These polyphenolic compounds resist stomach acidity and exert a bactericidal effect.
