A 122-year old French woman is the oldest living person currently on record. While she may be exceptionally old, there is a youthful appearance to her. Many people wonder how she has managed to stay so youthful. The lovely lady explains that the secret to her youthful appearance and overall good health is olive oil.

While many recognize that olive oil has many health benefits (the World Health Organization has named the Mediterranean diet as the healthiest diet and it is full of olive oil), they don’t realize that olive oil has the ability to make a person appear younger as well. The oleic acid found in olive oil is known to be good for both health and now, apparently, skin.

In addition to its anti-aging benefits, olive oil comes with the benefit of acting as a pain reliever. The Spanish have a saying “Olive oil will take the pain away.” It turns out, the compound oleocanthal, which is found in olive oil, behaves in a way that is very similar to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like advil and aspirin.

Is it any wonder Homer called the stuff “liquid gold”? For more information on non-edible ways of fighting aging and its effects, contact the Houston medical spa Dermagenix at 713-662-3376 today.
