OLIVE OIL

 BENEFITS AND FUNCTIONS:

BLOOD:

                Reduces cholesterol and triglycerides, increases HDL levels.

GLANDULAR:

                Allows the pancreas to function only when needed and reduces insulin requirements in diabetics.

GASTROINTESTINAL:

                Olive oil is rich in oleic acid oils which creates a sensation of fullness decreasing appetite and allowing a more                 gradual passage of gastric material into the duodenum, thus permitting improved digestion and absorption of                 nutrients. Is useful in treating gastric and duodenal ulcers. In the small intestine olive oil inhibits gastric acid reaction,                 heals lesions.

HANDS:

                Rub olive oil into nails to strengthen.

HEPATIC:

                Helps the emptying of the gallbladder, decreasing gallstone formation.

 

WARNING: Olive oil causes contraction of the gallbladder which normally has a cleansing effect; however, if there are gallstones present, it may cause them to become lodged in a bile duct which can create a medical emergency.
