Olive Oil has been a dietary staple for some of the world’s healthiest populations. As part of the Mediterranean diet and a staple of the Blue Zones diets, olive oil offers a wealth of health. Many believe that it is the key to these populations’ longevity. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the highest quality olive oil available and is recognized as one of the world’s healthiest oils. The main difference in extra-virgin is how the oil is extracted from the olives. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is extracted naturally which enables it to retain vitamins K and E, which are stripped away in the processing of regular olive oil. It is high in antioxidants and omega fats and is free of processed chemicals.
As a natural medicinal plant, CBD has begun appearing in a variety of goods. Over the past decade, more research has been conducted and CBD has been shown to be most easily and readily absorbed when paired with a fat such as olive oil. The synergy between CBD and EVOO provides the healthiest way to consume CBD, promoting the optimal health benefit for you.
There is a long list of health benefits of cooking with or consuming CBD extra virgin olive oil, which include:
When using a CBD olive oil, quality matters. There is no substitute for a high-quality CBD EVOO. In addition to tasting amazing, there are endless possibilities of ways you can use this product to help aid you in your journey towards emerging well.
When cooking with CBD EVOO there are a few tips to follow:
- Start small – don’t overdo it. Start with a small amount at first. When consuming as a regular health practice, we recommend 1 tablespoon per day.
- Works best in recipes with fat in them – it can be used as a substitute for butter when baking.
- Store your CBD EVOO in a cool dry place – this preserves its quality.
- Do not heat on direct heat – this will create a decrease in its overall effectiveness.
Some of my favorite ways to use emergewell’s CBD EVOO are:
- Enjoying it raw in a small dish for dipping bread.
- Using it as a dressing for fresh salads.
- As a “finishing touch” on all your dishes. It can be drizzled on everything!
- As a moisturizer – it acts as an intense moisturizer to soothe extra-dry skin.
- Drizzled on my dog’s food – it can help reduce inflammation and eases itching associated with allergies.
Speaking of my dogs (I have 3 energetic Labrador retrievers), CBD EVOO doesn’t only benefit humans, but it can help your cat or dog stay healthy too! Studies have found that its link to brain and joint health are important for senior dogs, who can suffer from hip dysplasia and arthritis. CBD EVOO not only keeps your fur baby feeling good, but it also helps them look good too. The omega-3 fatty acids help moisturize your dog’s skin and leaves their coat shiny. Vets recommend one teaspoon per 20 lbs of body weight per meal, mixed in with their wet or dry food.
Now I am not personally a cat person, I have been allergic my entire life, but there are some crazy cool health benefits of giving your feline friend some CBD EVOO. It can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, boost their immune system, and help them lost weight. Adding olive oil to your cat’s diet on a regular basis will keep their fur shiny and soft, and will keep them from having issues with constipation. One of the coolest benefits is that CBD EVOO can also act as a hairball cure. Vets recommend adding a spoonful of oil to your cat’s food at least 3 times per week.
In summary, the benefits of CBD and EVOO separately are pretty amazing, but together emergewell’s CBD Extra Virgin Olive Oil can help you look and feel your best, and it tastes great!
