]]> Olive oil has been praised for its health and beauty benefits for a very long time, and for good reason. Nevertheless, it’s important to learn how to use your healthy ingredients properly, so here are a few things you should never do with olive oil.

Frying

Despite the fact that olive oil is well-known for its health benefits, it can easily become harmful when heated to high temperatures. Overheating the oil will destroy omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants and can even give off toxic smoke, which is why it’s not recommended to use olive oil for frying.

Baking

Adding olive oil to bread, muffins, and other baked goods can improve their texture and flavor. However, we should be careful when using olive oil for baking, because it’s probably not the best option for preparing creamy and fluffy desserts due to its strong flavor and texture.

Grilling

The problem with olive oil is that it has a low smoke point, which means it burns and loses its nutritional value fairly quickly at high temperatures. That’s why this type of oil is not recommended both for grilling and frying.

Skin Care

Olive oil is not easy for skin to absorb and it can cause clogged pores, which is why it’s best not to include it in your beauty routine if your skin is prone to breakouts.

]]> More and more people are having trouble digesting foods that contain lectin. This is a group of proteins that the body can find a bit hard to tolerate. That is why the lectin-free diet is such a big thing on social media and wellness websites. But do you actually know what you can eat when you want to go lectin-free?

Nuts And Seeds

Everyone loves nuts, plus they are super-nutritious. When it comes to the choices, they are diverse. Walnuts, pecans, pistachios, chestnuts, coconut, sesame seeds, hemp seeds are just a part of your choices.

Leafy Greens

Leafy green and calciferous vegetables should be on top of your list for the lectin-free diet. You can opt for broccoli, cauliflower, arugula, kale, carrots, artichokes, beets and so much more.

Meat

Grass-fed and pasture-raised poultry meat should be your two choices. You can turn to chicken, turkey, beef, pork and more. Fish is also a yes! You can experiment with different types and find the one that’s best for you.

Olives

Olives and olive oil are the best things to have during your lectin-free diet. They are completely safe and approved. This makes things so much easier since everything tastes better when you add olive oil.
