3. Keeps the skin healthy – Olive oil, along with other ingredients in a Mediterranean diet contributes to the prevention against harmful skin diseases such as skin cancer and harmful effects of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays.

It is an extremely moisturizing oil that can repair damaged or frizzy hair, strengthen your nails, make your skin glow, diminish wrinkles, soothe itchy skin, relieve dry skin, and so much more!
6. Contributes to weight loss – People who are dieting in a healthy way, begin their day with consuming a quarter cup of olive oil. The oleic acid found in olive oil has a satiating effect. It slows the absorption of other nutrients so you’ll feel full for a longer amount of time. Start your day this way to prevent reaching for that sugary snack!
