Drink Olive Oil: How much is too much?
The numerous benefits that olive oil brings to the human body are not a question anymore. Medical researches and studies in relation to the beneficial effects of this nourishing oil has clearly been established and welcomed by many individuals. There is however a small question that clings to mind when talking about this oil; is it really safe to drink olive oil? When you say drink, the first idea that comes to mind is a glass. But with the thought that olive oil contains fatty acids one would wonder how much?
There are indeed lots of basis about the digestive system benefits when you drink olive oil. The most common are relieving constipation, prevention of stomach ulcers and easy digestion and absorption of food that promotes faster metabolism. The reason why many experts recommend cooking with olive oil instead of using other hydrogenated oil like margarine. While butter also tastes good on food, still nothing can commensurate the health benefits that olive oil brings. Some prefer to drink olive oil daily in order to experience the beneficial gains when it comes to the preservation of health and reduction of certain illnesses that can be fatal at times.
However, when experts say drink olive oil you shouldn’t overdo and take it literally. A teaspoon of olive oil once a day is enough to supply the nourishment that you might need and thus get from this humble kitchen oil. If you love salads, you can just use it as your dressing. Consuming olive oil need not be overdone or you might suffer other consequences since it is still oil no matter how much benefit you receive. Drink too much and you might end up going to and from the bathroom. As much as olive oil relieves constipation, too much might give it to you, so just a teaspoon will do.

I love this article. I am from the Mediterranean area and my grandmother used to always tell me all the benefits of olive oil when I was a child. It is truly an amazing remedy. It can also help your skin.
Agreed
Great post
When using good oils to fry food, someone said it changes the oil benefits because your breaking it down?
I use to have VERY dry hair!! I started using extra virgin olive oil in my hair at night and in the morning when I take a shower my hair is nourished and shiny. ( just a small amount goes a long way) I am 43 years old and have ZERO wrinkles around my eyes because I have been putting EV olive oil under my eyes for years. I never have to use lip balm because I just rub a small amount of EV olive oil on my lips and WOW, soft lips in the morning and all day!! I also drink olive oil when I have an upset stomach!!! LOVE THE STUFF
Olive Oil has been my sole choice for my health regime for over two years now. It is my body lotion, and my make-up remover. Olive Oil is my personal lubricant and my glossy hair shine method, and part of my daily vitamin routine as well. I wish I would have started sooner. Being 60 years young, if I had learned of this miracle oil earlier in life, I could look 20 possibly, instead of looking forty! Thank God for Olive Oil!
Is it really safe to drink a tea spoon of olive oil every morning ????
Yes, it is no problem to do that.
i drink olive oil like 20 ml+ a day every night before sleeping….
what? no its ok i can sleep with a heavy belly.. but never sleep hungry not a bit
I have gotten into the habit that each morning the first thing I consume is a glass of water with a tablespoon of olive oil poured into it. I hope it’s just as affective consumed that way… I used to drink coffee first thing in the morning but it hit me that my body has been dehydrated for the last 8 hours while I slept and perhaps it would like something a little more healthy as its first choice… Not sure if it’s good or not but psychologically I feel I’m doing something better for myself!
I LOVE OLIVE OIL!! My cat had two severe mats, one on each side. I dabbed the mats with Olive oil and by the next day they were gone. I have been researching the benefits of the oil all night and cannot wait to try them on me.
what is the corrrect time to drink a table spoon of olive oil?
and what should be the frequency of it in a aweek?
Is it ok if it is mixed with lemon juice?
There is no specific time to drink it, although if taken with a meal it will aid in digestion.
Have never heard that as a problem, but I’m not sure if there is an effect on the oil by lemon juice.
I have elevated liver enzymes, will taking 1 tbsp/day affect my liver in a negative way?
I’ve seen olive oil used in liver cleanses, so it should be OK. I would always check with your doctor before starting any regimen.
For fatty liver, olive oil is good, please answer.
I am 35y/m and have just started drinking olive oil a few days back but i am taking one tea spoon with a glass of milk … is it ok? because i didn’t develop tast of olive oil.
I have no idea about mixing olove oil with milk.
I am Italian and we use the stuff for everything including gall badder and liver flushes, literally drink 1/2 a cup of the stuff strait(bot every days, once in a while like every 6 months-1yr. Sardinia Italy has one of the highest life expectancy in the world, we are an Italian Island off the Mediterranean coast. Fish and olive oil are our major food staples. Enjoy!
i drank 1 to 2 teaspoonsof olive oil a day when i had a stomach ulser and after a few days it completly went away! its amazing what just a small amount of olive oil can do for you.
I LOVE YOU OLIVE OIL! thank you!!!!! I have suffered from acne for years, last week I started massaging my face gently with extra virgin olive oil every day, and sometimes I even added a drop of lemon juice (I strongly recommend you google the ‘health benefts of lemon for the skin’ and once, I even mixed it with baking soda, to use as a scrub, add a pinch of sea salt and go! or mix evoo with avocado until a paste is formed to use as a mask, only done that once so far, but such such smooth smooth skin, wow!!!!! But don’t take my work for it, google each of these natural ingredients to find for yourself
it’s fun! 
Oh and for those who want to know more about skin stuff, also google up aloe vera gell and nacre cream (these two are a little harder to find, while the others are usually home ingredients.) oh If I had the time, I would just go ahead and LEAVE the olive oil on for a while, of course, this was after I confirmed it wouldn’t rash up my face or anything (which is silly,) because olive oil contains anti-inflammatory) So instead, the swelling of the pimples went down, the SCARS<< dear GOD the scars, they just started going away within DAYS they were reduced little by little. About a week later, acne has reduced 60% and also acne scars are reduces by 60% So it’s not just treating my current acne, it’s treating old red spots, blemishes, etc.
…………..and hey also I googled and found out its excellent for wrinkles and age spots too! And because I’m 24 It will do wonders when I get older
lol. Men try this stuff too, so you can look hot! lol.
So I’m so thankful to God, for giving me this magic oil!!!
I HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE NOW< because I can see a future where I can be free of acne and their terrorizing scars!
Oh, so my last point was, don’t just drink a teaspoon a day, which I add to my salad daily, including that trusty lemon juice, *I’m a salad maniac, MUST HAVE IT lol*
Don’t just drink it, put it on!
:D:d
and tell everyone!! I swear by evoo! in everything mentioned about plus everything I mentioned too, its the magic oil, geez I’m telling you! haha
Geez, I swear I should a salemen for this stuff LOLLL!!! xD
i have just started medication for diabetic when i came across this book about olive oil in a shop to discover that it actually lowers blood sugar levels so can I stop taken this medication and take this safer method
I wonder if i could add it to my fruit smoothie?
what type do you drink.
have it on toast of a morning, instead of butter
and rub it onto the scalp to relieve dryness
I have done a lot of research about oils and olive oil and flaxseed oil are the one that are best for health. I been using olive oil for my hair,face,and 1tsp every 2 dys. I am 54 and thanks to olive oil I feel and look very good. If you don’t believe me search in goggle about our beautiful Italian goddess Sophia Loren, that is what she used and continue to used for everything and take a look at her skin. Good stuff.
ive had terrible red skin for years round my nose and mouth and dry flaky skin i was prescribed all sorts by the gp and none worked 100% , however 1 week yes 1 week into drinking and rubbing on my face olive oil and my skin issue has vanished
It truly is a magical substance .
hi… i just started taking 1tablespoon of Olive Oil every morning last month. I have fats on my liver and a friend told me to try olive oil. after 2weeks of doing it, i went back to the clinic for another blood check and i was quite hesitant that time, but when the result came out, it went back to normal. so until now, im still taking 1 tablespoon every morning.. then i’ll wait for maximum 30mins before i’ll take my breakfast. and by the way, while taking olive oil, i also started my diet. less carbo, more on vegetables and fruits.. i stopped drinking coffee.. instead, im drinking ginger brew… and the result… in just 3weeks, i loss 5kg… believe it or not..
i really luv the benefit of olive oil..it cures…
I have been using Olive Oil as a personal lubricant (a dab will do), and it has saved my marriage. My husband is a very “endowed” man and the other personal lubricants were very messy and sticky…a dab of Olive Oil goes a long way.
After drinking this for 4months and hitting the gym IM SWOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started mixing a tablespoon or two with melted icecream in an attempt to gain weight. I think this site is right, you only want about one spoonful. If I go too heavy on the oil, it does make you a little queesy and runny.
can we drink olive oil with glass of milk?
i have been reading positive benefits and effects of oilve oil,
HOW ABOUT TELLING IF THERE IS SOME NEGATIVE EFFECT? thanks!
