Adding olive oil to milk might seem unusual, but this combination has been used traditionally in some cultures for its health benefits. Here’s why this simple yet effective recipe is a well-kept secret and how you can make it yourself.
Benefits of Mixing Olive Oil with Milk:
Enhanced Nutritional Profile:
Olive Oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which supports heart health and can help reduce inflammation. It’s also packed with antioxidants.
Milk: Provides a good source of calcium, protein, and vitamins D and B12.
Combining these two can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) present in both ingredients.
Improved Digestive Health:
Olive oil acts as a natural lubricant that can aid in digestion and prevent constipation. When mixed with milk, which is soothing to the stomach lining, it can help promote better digestive health.
Potential Weight Management Aid:
While this might seem counterintuitive due to the high calorie content, the healthy fats in olive oil can help promote a feeling of fullness, potentially aiding in weight control when consumed in moderation.
Better Skin Health:
Both olive oil and milk are known for their benefits to skin health. Olive oil provides essential fatty acids and vitamin E, while milk offers proteins that are beneficial for skin repair and health.
