The ancient Greeks rarely ate olive oil, unlike the modern Greeks. The average Greek would have used animal fats, only the poor used olive oil for cooking.
Odyssey, III: 464: Odysseus's son is anointed with olive oil. He steps out of the bath looking like an "immortal god."
Sunscreen: Olive oil has an SPF of 8 meaning it can be used functionally as sunscreen. Most sunscreen contains xenoestrogens & high SPF isn't that necessary despite what you’ve been led to believe.
Anti-aging: Olive oil contains antioxidants that fight free radical damage, as well as an ingredient called squalene which is extremely hydrating. Additionally, the phenols in olive oil are very protective of your DNA, especially the mitochondria.
Take care that you get proper olive oil since most olive oil - especially outside eu, is a big scam.
Olive Oil Nationalism!
