Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why take olive oil on an empty stomach?
A: On an empty stomach, your body absorbs nutrients more efficiently. Olive oil’s healthy fats can coat and soothe the digestive tract, stimulate bile production, and assist in flushing out toxins.
Q: Can it help with weight loss?
A: Yes—while olive oil is calorically dense, its monounsaturated fats can promote satiety, regulate blood sugar, and reduce cravings, supporting healthy weight management.
Q: Is it safe every day?
A: For most healthy adults, yes. A tablespoon daily is a safe, beneficial dose. However, those with gallbladder or liver conditions should consult a healthcare provider.
Q: What type of olive oil is best?
A: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), preferably organic and cold-pressed, is richest in antioxidants and polyphenols. Avoid refined or light olive oils.
