Speaking of olive oil, many people are not familiar with it. The first thing that comes to mind is the shiny oil painted on bodybuilders. In fact, it is an edible healthy oil with much less calories than other oils. Olive oil is not only rich in unsaturated fatty acids, but also contains squalene, sitosterol and vitamin E, which helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Olive oil is rich in vitamins and oleic acid, among which vitamin A can moisturize dry skin and prevent dandruff. Vitamin d can promote human metabolism; Vitamin e can promote smooth blood circulation and inhibit further skin aging; Vitamin K can absorb excess fat under the skin. It can not only help digestion, but also prevent constipation. Therefore, drinking 8 ml ~ 16 ml olive oil on an empty stomach or taking it together with milk, yogurt, honey and juice every morning before exercise can cooperate with fitness and achieve the effect of weight control. Olive oil is also rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants, which can inhibit the damage caused by active factors in sunlight. Especially before mountaineering, long-distance running and other sports, you can add a drop of olive oil to skin care products under the condition that the sun is not very strong, so as to avoid the skin from being damaged by ultraviolet rays and causing redness.
In dry spring, it can prevent chapped and itchy bare skin caused by too little sebum secretion. Due to exercise, a lot of water is discharged, and the joints of hands and feet are easy to dry and wrinkles appear. Regular use of olive oil can prevent chapping. Generally, it can be rubbed three times a week, and once a day on particularly dry days. Many people who do outdoor sports in spring know that their lips are particularly prone to chapping.
Suggestion: Before starting exercise, apply a hot towel to your lips, then apply olive oil to your lips, gently massage with your fingers for a few minutes, and stick to it for a few days to get good results. There are few sebaceous glands on the back of the hand, which are often exposed during exercise. Always replenish water and oil, otherwise it will crack easily. Take a bottle of olive oil with you, wash your hands or apply some when you feel dry, which can keep your hands moist.
Take special care of your hands once a week. Massage hands 10 ~ 15 minutes with a small amount of scrub to remove dead skin on hands, and then soak them in warm olive oil for 5 minutes. After exercise, wash the oil off your face with warm water, gently wipe off the water with a dry towel, then dip cotton in olive oil and spread it all over your face. The more olive oil penetrates, the better the effect, so in order to increase the penetration of olive oil, gently massage your face with your hands. 10 ~ 15 minutes later, apply a hot towel to your face, and finally gently wipe it with a dry towel, which can thoroughly clean the dirt discharged with sweat and the dust stuck to your skin after exercise.
