Another healthy food overall is Olive Oil. Olive Oil, a key component of a Mediterranean-style diet, has provided health benefits for millennia. Mono-unsaturated fat gives olive oil antioxidant properties, lowering risk of colon cancer, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes.
Because ingesting olive oil enriches skin and soft tissues, and is an anti-inflammatory, it also helps in treating gum disease which, due to the correlation between oral and whole-body healthy, improves your overall well-being.
