 | Olive Oil by Cyril Blau, Rita Greer
Why do the peoples of the Mediterranean have the lowest incidence of heart disease in Europe? One reason is that they all make plentiful use of olive oil. Sacred gift to the Greeks of the goddess Athene, the olive and its wholesome oil have been prized for thousands of years. Now scientists have proved that the ancient herbalists were right: the olive's monounsaturated oil contains special properties that have a beneficial effect on the human body. This amazingly informative book explains how olive oil will help prevent heart disease, improve cholesterol levels, soothe earache and sunburn, cure dandruff and act as a hair and skin conditioner, prevent constipation, and work as a tonic to the system. Nutritionist Rita Greer and chemical analyst Cyril Blau show how olive oil can contribute to your overall good health in many ways. They include recipes for flavoursome salad dressings, sauces and casseroles, and describe how to make olive oil soap, shampoo and skin preparations. They also include a wealth of facts about the customs and mythology of the olive and its harvesting and give advice on the best oil to use for particular purposes. AUTHOR: Cyril Blau, Rita Greer
