Olive Oil
One of the healthiest oils found on earth is extra virgin olive oil. It's rich in antioxidants and monounsaturated fats (MUFA), which are essential for reducing inflammation and oxidative damage in the body. Not only does olive oil lower the risk of chronic health issues like metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and certain types of cancer, but it may also help promote healthy skin. In addition, a study also found that a diet rich in monounsaturated fats lowered the risk of skin aging. It is suggested that the anti-inflammatory properties in antioxidants and MUFA were responsible for this effect. To get the full benefits of olive oil, choose one that's cold-pressed as it's higher in antioxidants, and try adding it to a dip or salad for a healthy and nutritious snack.
