Day 5 of the lemon juice and olive oil challenge!

One shot every morning on an empty stomach.


A daily shot of 1 tablespoon of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice is a popular wellness trend believed to improve digestion, boost skin health, and provide anti-inflammatory antioxidants. Taken on an empty stomach, it is said to curb cravings, aid liver detoxification, and improve heart health, though scientific evidence on the combined mixture is limited. The Guardian +4

Potential Health Benefits





  • Digestion & Gut Health: The olive oil is thought to act as a lubricant for the gut and coat the stomach lining, while lemon juice stimulates enzymes, which may help with constipation and bloating.



  • Heart Health: Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, which can help lower "bad" (LDL) cholesterol and raise "good" (HDL) cholesterol.
  • Nutrient Boost & Inflammation: The mixture provides vitamins and antioxidants (like Vitamin C and E) that can combat oxidative stress.
  • Skin Vitality: The combination is often cited as a remedy for promoting a "glow" due to healthy fats and Vitamin C
