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
