Just drizzle a small teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over your salads. Never heat it too much as it loses its good properties.

Olive oil is great, but don't make the mistake of using it for deep frying. The most realistic way is to use raw extra virgin olive oil as a dressing for your vegetables, keeping it strictly to one teaspoon per meal.

I'm also reading up on this because everyone on social media is drinking olive oil in the morning. Honestly, is it actually better to drink it raw or just use it in normal daily cooking?

Actually, drinking oil raw sounds so gross, yaar. I just cook my normal sauteed veggies in a tiny bit of olive oil and it works perfectly fine for my diet plan.

For my high BP, my cardiologist advised me to strictly limit all oil consumption, even healthy ones like olive oil. Make sure you get your lipid profile checked before starting any high-fat diets.

I totally understand the anxiety of wanting to make the healthiest choices for your body. If you are worried about the calories, just start by using a small spray bottle of olive oil to mist your food very lightly.
