The Great Olive Oil Misconception

( I have compiled following from different articles from books and magazines.)

Americans have developed an olive oil habit. Out to dinner recently , I saw a man dipping his white bread in olive oil and then pouring it all over his salad, saying, "Wow! this is so good for me!!"

BUT, Is olive oil the healthiest fat ????
The answer is NO, IT'S NOT.

You might ask, Doesn't it lower cholestrol? Well, only when you substitute olive oil in equivalant amounts for butter or oils that are higher in saturated fat. Olive oil doesn't lower cholestrol; it doesn't raise it as much.

You may be better off with canola oil. A study done during 1999 by heart society found that a Mediterranean diet significantly reduced heart attacks and premature death. Many people attributed this to higher consumption of olive oil. But it was increased consumption of canola oil that accounted for these improvements.

Also, study participants ate more whole grain bread , vegetables, fish and fruits, and less meat. Butter and cream were replaced with margarine made from canola oil, which has more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than olive oil does.

Another study found that olive oil reduced blood flow by 31%. Canola oil and fish oil don't ( you want to increase blood flow to all body parts)

I like the taste of olive oil, and I use it sometimes. It's a healthier fat than many others, but it's not nearly as healthy as canola oil - or fish oil and flaxseed oil, for that matter, which also have lots of omega-3s. And a tablespoon of any oil has 126 calories.

THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE POUR IT ON.

Hair is a mirror of your inner health

YES, thats true..
Hair is a mirror of your inner health, which is why we desire a full head of hair and want those strands to shine with gusto. Most of us shampoo our hair too frequently; instead try just rincing with water and massaging your scalp to distribute your naturaly healthy lubricating oils into the hair.

Does Humor Heal?

It's not like your doctor can write up a prescription-strength joke and send you on your way. But don't pooh-pooh the power of a ha-ha. Humor has been shown to boost brain power and improve immune-cell function (which can help ward off cancer).

Not only that, but a positive attitude means you are more likely walk, eat cruciferous vegetables and avoid saturated fats - three choices that substantially help the chance of survival after heart attack, stroke or cancer. So instead of feeling blue, take charge of your life.

Remember, miracles do happen, and they happen more often to people who positively positive.
