Health benefits of Olive oil on skin

Olive oil is one of the most beneficial natural products and is known to have very high nutritive value since its discovery about 5,000 years ago. Olive oil is extracted from the crop of the olive tree which is native to the Mediterranean basin. Olive oil was commonly used in Egypt as a cosmetic, and is still used in many Mediterranean countries as a natural medicine. Olive oil uses are many and it is so versatile that it can be used both internally and externally. Health benefits of olive oil range from promoting better digestion, stimulating metabolism to lubricating mucous membranes and as olive oil is full of vitamins, minerals and proteins, it can also be used to keep skin, nails, and hair healthy and beautiful.

BENEFITS OF OLIVE OIL ON SKIN:- Olive oil is closer in chemical structure to the skin’s natural oil than any other naturally occurring oil.

 1. Thus it acts as the perfect moisturiser especially for dry skin.

  2. It can also be used to moisturise extremely dry skin prone areas like elbows and knees.  3. Olive oil has regenerative power over skin tissue and thus regular usage ensures that your skin remains soft and smooth while keeping it toned and firmed.

 4. Take equal quantities of water and oil in a tight lid jar and shake it well to mix them together. Massage your skin with this and wash it off with lukewarm water.

 5. Another great face mask to moisturise your skin with olive oil can be made by blending together 1 tbsp. of honey, with 1 tbsp. olive oil and yolk of one egg. Blend them together till they come together and apply on a clean face. Let this mask stay for 15-20 minutes after which wash it off with lukewarm water. This mask moisturises the skin and helps in clearing out and maintaining the natural skin tone.

Health benefits of Green Tea

Recent research suggests that beneficial antioxidants in green tea play a role in reducing the negative effects of bad cholesterol, lowering triglyceride levels and increasing the production of good cholesterol. They have also been shown to inhibit excessive blood clotting which may help against heart diseases and stroke. Further evidence has suggested that green tea plays a role in prevention of age-related and brain degeneration diseases, such as Parkinson and Alzheimer's. Its antioxidant properties are thought to reduce free radical damage and the breakdown of neurotransmitters. 

CUT YOUR CANCER RISK 

Several polyphenols - the potent antioxidants green tea's famous for - seem to help keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body, by discouraging their growth and then squelching the creation of new blood vessels that tumors need to thrive. Study after study has found that people who regularly drink green tea reduce their risk of breast, stomach, esophagus, colon, and/or prostate cancer. 

SOOTHE YOUR SKIN 

Got a cut, scrape, or bite, and a little leftover green tea? Soak a cotton pad in it. The tea is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling. Try it on inflamed breakouts and blemishes, sunburns, even puffy eyelids. 

PROTECT YOUR SKIN 

In the lab, green tea applied directly to the skin (or consumed) helps block sun-triggered skin cancer, which is why you're seeing green tea in more and more sunscreens and moisturizers. 

STEADY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE 

Having healthy blood pressure - meaning below 120/80 - is one thing. Keeping it that way is quite another. But people who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers. Credit goes to the polyphenols again (especially one known as ECGC). They help keep blood vessels from contracting and raising blood pressure. 

PROTECT YOUR MEMORY, OR YOUR MOM'S 

Green tea may also keep the brain from turning fuzzy. Getting-up-there adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less. Why? It appears that the tea's big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. 

STAY YOUNG 

The younger and healthier your arteries are, the younger and healthier you are. So fight plaque build-up in your blood vessels, which ups the risk of heart disease and stroke, adds years to your biological age (or RealAge), and saps your energy too. How much green tea does this vital job take? About 10 ounces a day, which also deters your body from absorbing artery-clogging fat and cholesterol. 

LOSE WEIGHT 

Oh yeah, one more thing. There have been over two dozen green tea weight loss studies done in the last 10 years that prove that green tea does indeed help you lose weight.
