Classic olive oil has the same health-promoting monosaturated fats as extra virgin olive oil but does not contain the same antioxidants because it is not made from the first cold-press process. This oil is best used as everyday cooking oil for sauting, grilling, roasting, frying, and baking, or as a good base for spice-infused dressings and hearty sauces because of the subtle flavor. Olive oil is a healthy fat that contains anti-inflammatory compounds. Drinking it regularly may benefit your heart, bone, and digestive health and help stabilize your blood sugar levels. Eating more than 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil per day lowers one's risk of cardiovascular disease and the risk of coronary heart disease by 21 percent. Olive oil is most beneficial for dry hair. It can keep hair moisturized and strong.
