Audra keeps an eye on the trends and shares why some are taking olive oil shots first thing in the morning.  Taking olive oil first thing in the morning is a health trend folks years ago could not have seen coming.   Folks are taking a shot of oil first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for the benefits. It comes with benefits.  Olive oil has been shown to help your body absorb other vitamins and is a building block of every cell membrane in the body.  High-grade extra virgin olive oil contains around 30 polyphenols that act as antioxidants and reduce inflammation in the body.  Folks are taking it by the tablespoon first thing in the morning to benefit the gallbladder, colon, blood sugar levels and the skin.  It’s the key ingredient to Mediterranean diets and linked to weight loss.   You risk loosing health benefits when cooking the olive oil so to reap the benefits, pour yourself a little shot to get your day started. Bottoms up!
