| 我某位博客朋友曾經話我知佢保持年輕嘅秘訣, 就係每日飲兩湯匙橄欖油落肚, 見佢年近半百都仲係冇乜皺紋又皮光肉滑得似剝咗殼嘅雞蛋, 我都非常羨慕.. 近日的確喺某健康雜誌睇到關於橄欖油嘅益處, 裡頭話:「橄欖油能夠減低男性老化跡象, 因為裡面嘅角鲨烯(squalene)能夠幫助抵抗自由基對皮膚嘅侵害」.. 不過就咁齋飲兩湯匙, 我肯定會嘔返出嚟啦(囧), 況且雜誌話係每日攝取兩茶匙, 唔需要飲兩湯匙咁惡心.. 所以我覺得可以結合橄欖油與香醋嘅好處, 感覺上應該好得多啩?? 於是就產生咗我自己嘅香醋油(我買市面上最平嘅, 因為香醋同橄欖油可以去到好高價位), 就咁點麵包或做沙律醬, 味道好唔錯哦~~ :p |
| a blogger friend of mine once told me his secret of staying young by drinking two tablespoons of olive oil everyday, and it's quite convincing looking at his almost wrinkle-free face and complexion as smooth as a peeled boiled egg for his age of almost half-a-century.. i recently also read an article from a health magazine, that "olive oil can reduce aging in men, as the squalene contained within can help to fight against free-radical damages on the skin".. bluergh, but it sure feels squeamish to chug that down the throat right?? furthermore the article says that we don't have to chug two tablespoons but rather to consume two teaspoons a day.. so i thought of combining the goodness of olive oil and vinegar, doesn't this sound a lot better?? therefore here comes my very own "vinaigrette" (of course i bought the cheapest olive oil and vinegar available, since they can be very expensive), good as dipping for bread or dressing for salads and taste good too~~ :p |

Like the durian, this too takes some getting used to. Enjoy your new-found good thing.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, anything that fights free radicals is a good thing. :D
Btw SK, I like the stamp frame that you've been using. Could you share the site from where this came from (again), please? Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLEt's start to drink olive oil (extra virgin) for our health :)
ReplyDeleteyes, must be extra virgin!! and we all like extra virgin huh?? :p
DeleteGood morning SK and everyone. Could it be a blue monday? not many turn up today...
ReplyDeleteSTP and Sharon, where are you guys...
DeleteCame here first before I get busy later on...
DeleteGood morning Angeline...
DeleteI am here, hehe...
DeleteSelamat pagi HS, TZ, Angeline, Somewhere in Singapore & All, Monday is a slow fresh day of the week.
DeleteGood Mid-day Bloggers! I came in early this morning and saw no one. So shy to read this topic and I had to come back later.
DeleteLooks like I should be talking a bit about my discovery on this Olive Oil. It actually started many years ago when I heard about the oldest lady in France who still cycled around at the age of 90. It was amazing for me to hear that and decided to check further on her lifestyle and diet. Her secret was Extra Virgin Olive Oil to keep her organs healthy.
Knowing that I had been a drinker and smoker during my younger days since high school, I always felt that my vital organs could be all corroded and polluted. Taking supplements may not be enough to heal and repair, so I googled further on the research about olive oil. It has been a regular diet for the folks in the West and Middle East since ancient times, nothing new to them! They probably did not even realize how much goodness it contained since our modern day scientists and nutritionists discovered more benefits in this pure oil.
DeleteI have been consuming any brands of Extra Virgin Olive Oil for over 10 years now. I would just pour them right into my throat before gulping a glass of juice or flavoured drink just to flush the oily taste from my throat. I realised that many barnds from different European countries had slight different tastes and smell. The popular ones being sold on our local shelves are from Italy and Spain.
DeleteAll along, I was least bothered about the benefits of Olive Oil helping my skin as my priority was to moisturize my heart and internal organs which is essential to live healthily and longer - to my own beliefs!
DeleteThe happiest discovery on my consumption of this Olive Oil was it cleared my life long chronic sinus and nasal BLOCKAGE during my sleep. I have tried all sorts of oral ways to clear them but the mucous secreted again later in the middle of my sleep. It was quite irritating and often disrupted my sleep, where I had to go to the bathrooms to blow my nose or use nasal drops for instant relief. I would suffer most if I had spicy Tom Yam steamboat the night before and it would give me blockage on both nostrils!!
DeleteAfter taking the olive Oil before sleep, i was surprised that I could sleep soundly like a baby until morning! Bingo!
Old folks in Okinawa attributed their longevity to bitter gourd.
DeleteSo apa lagi? Let's all eat bitter gourd, esp raw ones from now! Dare or not? ;p
I only dare to blend bitter gourds with other fruits to detox. It is too bitter like poisons! If they cook in Yong Tau Foo, I like!
DeleteHappy Monday everyone!
DeleteAll those goody and healthy food are not my type of food. But then again, after reading and hearing how much it benefits our health I must include it in my diet.
Lina, I take very tiny portion of bitter gourd, telur goreng peria - will try to korek out as much gourd as possible, muahahaha!
My Okinawan friend eats peria as salad.
DeleteShe is a healthy and active 60y.o.
She climbed Mount Fuji a couple of years ago too.
I think I must learn to drink bittergourd juice also like Anay does. :)
I've read from an article(I think is from a newspaper). There are 3 kinds of vegetables to consume to preserve longevity:
Delete1. Corn
2. Butter Gourd
3. Sweet Potato
everyone's trying to catch up with work left over the weekend first thing on a monday morning??
Deleteoh, thank you Twilight Man for sharing his own experience.. now, i think with his comments, he can actually copy & paste them to form a complete post itself.. and yes, i do think olive oil is kind of healthy.. besides i also heard people consuming grape seed oil, flax seed oil etc which are equally good..
ah, bitter gourd.. yes, it's acknowledged as a source for health and i believe different people in different places has got their own traditional remedies.. hmmm, i dare not eat bitter gourd raw, but i have started to like this thing many years ago (even i hate it when i was still a kid).. maybe can blend in two teaspoons of olive oil into the bitter gourd juice :)
Bitter gourd you can form it into juices mix with green apples, Japanese cucumber and a stalk of celery. You will never taste or smell a bitter gourd in it too.
DeleteWhat's a butter gourd?
DeleteJust kidding! :P
The best result: Use that small bitter gourd. They said very bitter one!
DeleteGood afternoon Bananazஇ
DeleteGood afternoon Twilight Man...
DeleteIs ok Lina... my mistake! Thanks again!
Deletebutter gourd?? errr, avocado maybe, haha, that's what we call them in Chinese sometimes.. and i think bitter gourd is good to blend with other fruits and vegetables, it can cool down our heatiness..
DeleteMak datuk oi....Anay's story is longer than Ah boy's post. wei got any other secret you have been hiding or not. Olive oil for anti ageing . What else?
DeleteYou sinus so teruk ka? means snoring very loud lor at night? Why tomyam makes your blockage worse?
Bitter gourd raw i dont eat la. If cooked then ok. Kinda weird eating it raw.
But I got blend it for Kaldip to drink la. good for blood pressure. Bittergourd juice can add with others fruit so that it wont be so bitter la. As salad...pengsan lor...too bitter for me la...
Eh one more health drink i saw in Facebook is the daun ketumbar (coriander leaves) says good for detox kidney and stuffs like that. Gotta detox kidney leh coz too much med in kidney not good leh.
One more is ginger ...said ginger can help with heart arteri blockage
Method #1
Lemon juice 1 cup
Ginger juice 1cup
Garlic juice 1 cup
Apple vinegar 1 cup
Mix all and boil for half hour, or until balance of 3 cups.
Let it cool, then mix 3 cups of natural honey.
Transfer to glass bottle and keep in fridge.
Every morning, before breakfast, take one tablespoon.
Or
6 peeled lemons, cut into small pieces.
30 cloves garlic, chopped to small pieces.
Put in food processor or blender, top up with adequate water, and blend.
Pour into pot and add 2 litres of water.
Bring to boil and simmer for another five minutes.
When cooled, sieve the liquid and transfer into glass bottle.
Discard the residue.
Store in fridge.
Directions for consumption:
1. First Dosage: Drink 50ml each day for three weeks.
2. Then stop for one week.
3. Second Dosage: Drink 50ml each day for the next three weeks.
You may repeat this treatment every 6 months.
me been "sumbating" Kaldip with the ketumbar, ginger with honey juice. Hope it works the same way la.
Wah I saw Meow created a Tsunami here... this month you definitely are the one standing up tall huh? .... keep it up I'm sure SK is always so ahappy to see so.maby comments here...
DeleteYes Meow is scary. This pussy cat always rested from the top of gate pillars and swayed her furry tail while watching her neighbours spammed this blog. When time is right, she would jump down and catch the rat to tear it into pieces. Anay was the rat victim many times! Muahahahaha
DeleteNow she just posted a useful recipe to share which is soooo long. I strongly agree that ginger is very helpful and beneficial to our health besides detoxifying fast! Sometimes I would buy small chunks of ginger and blended it into pulp with added water to make it like ginger juice. I would smear it onto both arms, hands and legs. I would leave them there for some minutes until dried off naturally. Bingo! My sensitive arms would have boils appearing next day. That showed that my skin had toxic beneath the skin of my arms. The ginger managed to successfully excrete the toxins out like pimples and would heal by itself gradually.
Good Morning SK...
ReplyDeleteOlive oil, not cheap also...
Deletemorning Sharon
DeleteLearn something from you, hehe...
Deleteerrr, not that cheap but then i got myself the cheapest one, haha.. good enough to last for couple of months and we better see the long term on such "investment".. :)
Deleteagree, hehe...
Delete"olive oil can reduce aging in men?" it is good to hear that. I've learn a few good stuffs since last week. From Wenn, we've heard the benefit in lettuce and durians. From you, is olive oil.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all the information already exists for a long time, just that we didn't bother to know it better.
DeleteEven my friend just told me recently, 2 teasepoon of honey also can give best result for our complexion.
Most food have their beneficial values. It's just that we consume them moderately. That's the key. Never overdo it.
DeleteIt is true that most food has beneficial values too and we should take everything moderately. Sometimes it would react more effectively on different human beings, so we have to hear our own body's exact needs too.
DeleteWenn,
DeleteI totally and whole heartedly agree with you!
Work with what you have around you, learn about the benefits. Right? :)
All the ulams we eat also have "awet muda" values. ;)
Mak Oi I hear Ulams!!! That's my favourite with sambals!! Yummy!
DeleteUlam? I like too.
DeleteYeah agreed with you too Wenn. Nothing is good if over eat it! and with TM's point of view is very true also. It is depends on each individual body needs. There are many info from everywhere mention this and that are very good. Though their source is very general. But you have to ask yourself first? can you take it?
DeleteDon't always jump to conclusion that fast. People mentioned 2teasespoon not 2tablespoon. But somehow after reading, people intend to consume 2-3 bottles and finished in a month! Imagine that! Over dose lar tu! Then sue people pula! haiz.....
very true people and i always think moderation is the key to healthy life.. we do not want less, we do not want overdose, but just the right amount that we need.. afterall, there are too many things that are good for us, we sure couldn't have them all at one go.. :)
Deletebut some will still "kiasu" and consume too much .
DeleteLike many years back a lady died coz wanna diet and slim down. People told her to blend the pucuk manis /cakur manis daun and drink the juice. She drank too much and end up poising herself.
Bingo! When come to "ai sui".... all ladies for sure "bo kia si" one.
DeleteI admit that I am the kiasu one and always ate more supplements than required! I always blamed that the size of my body is so big with larger frame therefore I would need more vitamins and oil.
DeleteBut not many people who love olive oil. I guess with your post today, many of them definitely will grab a bottle home from the departmental store.
ReplyDeleteFor me personally, I seldom use olive oil. So from today onwards, I must learn and make a habit to have olive oil everyday. Hehehe...
DeleteIn order to have better result, apply on our face, as a mask, pun boleh kan? Eat and apply at the same time for sure will give best result in 21days! What you guys think?
DeleteAngeline,
DeleteDo research first and properly first la...
Later results come out not to your liking, takut you sue SK for giving wrong info pulak!
Hahaha
That would be nice to hear Angeline experiment the Olive Oil masks!!! I would never dare to do that as I am worried that it might clog my pores instead. Next day I might wake up in horrors to find hundreds of nanah and pimples all over my face!!! ARRRGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
DeleteMuahaha... kenot get rid with SK... Go find better solution with SKII after that!
DeleteIf not for mask, I think it can be our body massage oil too... no research is done unless I try first.
For further explaination. Extra Virgin Oil that SK bought is a better grade of olive oil. Usually, it's flavoured a dish very well. Of course Balsamic vinegar is a best choice of vinegar too.
DeleteIn terms for consuming, I think that normal olive oil is enough.
In addition, olive oil can be use in low medium heat cooking and can be mix or just a stir in dishes BUT is not meant for deep frying! It will spoilt all the nutrients and flavour from the olive oil.
Seriously Angeline,
Deleteeven mat salleh, greeks and Arabs don't use olive oil for deep frying. LOL
it's all down to personal preference i would say.. i am not encourage but rather sharing what i heard and going to try.. afterall, besides olive oil, i guess there are still a lot of things that are equally good for us..
Deleteas for applying olive oil on our skin and hair.. errr, i sort of heard about those, but then those olive oil are more for cooking purpose, i won't just apply them onto my skin, unless they are meant for facial and cosmetic use.. i always believe things have their own "role" and functions lah, haha.. also agree with Anay, later my pores all clogged then all the pimples come out lagi teruk!! :D
I have been reading Method's book and surprisingly some cosmectic products actually is harmful to us rather that making our skin glow.
Deleteyea...dont think can use olive oil for mask but can use natural things like cucumber. Lemon juice dab on skin also is a natural "skin peeler". Dab...wait 15-20 minutes then wash out. Get better skin. But for me susah sikit la...coz lazy. Chinese say. "laziness o medicine to cure". LOL
Yes it is very true that many cosmetic and facial products are harmful to our skins. I go to the extend of buying the pure oils and raw ingredients directly from US to use. I will only share more secrets with HHBC only.
DeleteThis is definitely wise to use cucumbers and other natural palnts to make us alive like plants! We can grow like pine trees to over 100 years. Anay is not talking craps.
Noted here.
DeleteVanakam! Cheers Yammmmmm....Oil..
ReplyDeletemaybe banana is more interested with banana oil huh?? :p
DeleteOil and bananas.
DeletePlus flour and salt. Can make pisang goreng. heheheh
Yummy. :-)
I would drizzle with melted chocolate sum more. taste good!
DeleteWe often yamseng so this time should be yamoil
Deletewakakaka, maybe that's how we make banana oil?? but i think that one not extra virgin already right Bananaz~~ :D
DeleteWhen you mentioned 'friend' Bananaz got a feeling he is TM and when I clicked on the link later bingo haha
ReplyDeletehey, that's because we were in the same occasion where he mentioned about his experience with olive oil~~ :p
DeleteBet you the thought of oil is squeamish enough even before it touches the mouth
ReplyDeletei actually tried to swallow two teaspoons, and to my surprise, not that bad really lah.. i can take it..
DeleteDon't be so sissy and use a spoon. Need to wash the spoons later - hassle!
DeleteBe a man and pour our into your throat!!!!
you CB lah, how to pour directly into my throat?? later it's not just two teaspoons but 200ml!! muahahaha~~ :D
DeleteLOL....woi use spoon cleaner la...you mouth touches the bottle of olive oil then wanna use for salad...everyone eat your saliva meh....gross ler...
DeleteMuahahahahahaha.... This pussy cat really tickled Anay's ribs again. Yeah lah that sissy fella will feed you his HTML saliva in his salad.
DeleteJust pour the oil into your throat lah. Why must you be so rigid and drink only 2 teaspoon? The more is the merrier. You must realise that different size might require different quantity. If STP or Kaldip drinks, it might be 2 gallons each.
Over the years possible to transform into 'orang minyak' kah? TM is already half 'orang minyak' smooth as silk.
ReplyDeleteHaha, smooth as silk, TM must be very pleasant hearing this!
DeleteHayley, got a colleague in Penang who loves to eat 'kai put' bishop's nose and her complexion is truly smooth as silk. She can order one plate of 5 from the chicken rice stall and finished them.
DeleteAs for TM mozzie or fly may face a challenge to stay on his face would slip and fall.. very smooth leh.
DeleteMuahahahahaha!!! You are pulling my legs. My face is not smooth at all lah, you guys need to check your eyesight!
DeleteEh, but SK just mentioned his blogger friend's face is so smooth and licin like baby's butt. He was referring to annay, right? Don't be shy to take this royal compliment, Tan Sri Annay Lee Khim.
DeleteBananaz, eee kai put I don't eat at all leh~~
Deletehehehe, orang minyak?? does that have some other meaning between the words?? oh, not really as smooth as silk and as a baby's butt lah, i mean for his age, his complexion is good and skin is smooth, for his age i stress again wokay?? but whether mosquitoes will slip on his face, i dunno lah, hahahahaha..
Deletei also don't eat gai put, but i love gai lin~~ :D
Memang Anay's skinn is smooth as a baby's bottom leh. Anay, you dont shy shy la. Good and cheap skin care lah. Better than going for expensive facial treat ment
DeleteOh dear, this Anay is so stressed by the attention being spotlighted to his face. I never took care of my face. After today I need to use all the masks and facial creams!! Muahahahahaha
DeleteAny blogger wish to give free masks to Anay??
Only for men, SK? :) No wonder your "friend" looks young ... :)
ReplyDeletehaha, because the magazine i read is for men mah.. but i think also applies to ladies lah :)
DeleteBello bello, good morning everybody!
ReplyDeleteAnother brand new week! Hope this is not a blue Monday for you all out there~
bello bello kacapagi.. hahaha, i hope everyone will be intrigued by the wonders of olive oil to flush away the monday blue??
DeleteNo, thanks. No vinegar and olive oil with bread for me, haven't acquired the taste and that way of eating.
ReplyDeleteTo each its own.
DeleteSK is just sharing info what, not offering you.
Shouldn't say no thanks to every single thing other bloggers blogged about also la...
Doesn't seem nice to me.
But then, what do I know?
Happy Monday everyone! :-)
STP only wants pork lard oil and chinese vinegar for his kampua and piansip.. bet he rarely says yes to every single thing other bloggers blogged, hahahaha!! well, guess when we see something negative we just have to ignore them, else life would be very miserable.. maaf zahir batin :)
DeleteAlo cepat nya in saying maaf zahir batin belum sampai lagi Ah Boy haha
Deletehaiyoh, it's not only that season that you maaf zahir batin lah.. this should be the principle of life anytime.. right Lina?? :p
DeleteAh Boy sangat pandai!
DeleteHahaha
Just expressing my personal likes and dislikes mah. Salah kah tu? My cousin bakes artisan breads...and everybody loves eating those dipped in balsamic vinegar. I tried...and I did not like it - and that's me. They enjoyed it so let them eat...and I eat the way I want. What is wrong with that? Tsk! Tsk!
DeleteLike that, considered negative kah? So how? Everything say nice, butter up people's arse all the time, is it? I'm no hypocrite - nice, I say nice...and not nice, why should I lie and say nice?
DeleteYea, olive oil is way better and healthier than normal cooking oil! I have been using it in my cooking, and also when preparing Aden's porridge/baby macaroni.
ReplyDeleteErm, you mean drinking 2 tablespoon on its own? Won't it feel too 'oily'? I usually mix it in cooking...
DeleteAnyway, if it's really good then never mind also la right? ;)
Actually olive oil is already a trend in western countries since many years ago, can see most restaurants serve that, just that it's not that famous here in our country.
DeleteAnd it's even better if you eat the olive itself.
Funny lah the way you mentioned it.
DeleteBecause olive oil in Western Country (Europe) is not a trend.
They use it daily for cooking what. What trend? It's a way of life.
Mat Sallehs are not familiar with palm oil. That's why they have prejudice agaimst it.
And since olive oil are porduced there, the price are cheap. Compared to the nose-bleed price we have to pay for olive oil here.
Betul Lina, the folks in the West and Far & Middle Easts have been eating Olive and its oils since thousands of years ago as a way of their life. The trend to add them in fusion cooking just caught up in many countries where Olive trees are not grown - Kuala Lumpur!
DeleteYou cook olive oil in Aden porridge? Mine baby porridge is always oil free. hehehe...
DeleteOK what. ;)
DeleteLike makan roti dipped in olive oil.
Or have salad drizzled with lots of olive oil. :)
i actually took my utmost courage to gulp two teaspoons of olive oil just now, yes, just like that.. and surprisingly, not really that bad lah, i can take it~~ :D
Deleteoh good, using olive oil in your cooking, this Hayley must be very rich lah.. haha!! errr, but food for Aden also use olive oil?? i agree with Angeline lah, shouldn't those be minimum oil if not oil free?? geez~~
the people in Mediterranean has been using olives for a very long history, it only become popular here not long ago if i am not wrong.. but who cares the history, as long as it's good, we just try to consume it moderately lah.. agree?? :)
a bit of oil is not that harmful.
DeleteDo you know that starving children in Africa is given a teaspoon (or is it a tablespoon) of oil as part of nutrients?
A simple, cheap supplement to help kids there. Palm and palm oil are after all, originates from Africa.
Oil is not all evil.
of course there are good oils and bad oils.. and i know we need oil for our body to function well too.. that's why i am chugging down the good olive oil to "lubricate" my already "drying" body because of age and because my "oil stock" has already turned solid, hahaha!!
DeleteOnce I heard doctor recomended to add a slice of cheese in the porridge for those toddler whom is not that chubby or the weight is not up to the standard par.
DeleteHehe, I just pour 1-2 drops of olive oil when I am cooking baby macaroni, sometimes in his porridge also, consulted my paed and he said it's totally fine! Plus not always ma, and a little bit brings no harms ;) So you guys don't worry ya! LOL!
Deleteactually true also lah, must be moderate and cannot be too strict lah.. if too strict and too clean, then the baby will be like too protected and more prone to be harm by external substances huh?? :p
DeleteGood morning, SK and all! Olive oil has its beneficial value. I actually only convinced about it when I visited Greece recently. I have a bottle of olive oil after the visit. I don't drink it but I gargle my mouth in the early morning with just about a minute a two. It's believed that it will detoxify our body. But sometimes I'm lazy to do the routine.
ReplyDeletewow!! you bought an expensive bottle of olive oil, and you just gargle??!! fuyoh, this Ipoh Taukesoh very rich lah!! i am shocked!!!
DeleteTry gargling it and you can see it changes color.
Deleteoh really?? what does the color change mean?? the more murky the more sickness we have??
DeleteThe color change is due to the effect of the toxin from our body.
DeleteThis is something new to me to gargle the olive oil. I will try it tonight and see the colour.
DeleteI managed to google this useful tips about gargling with olive oil....
DeleteThe basis of this treatment is very simple: chew 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 15 or 20 minutes every morning. It is a very powerful cleansing treatment. Put 1 tablespoon of oil in your mouth and begin using your lips and cheeks to roll it from one side to the other. Be sure it gets under your tongue where the blood vessels are closest to the surface. During this procedure the body will release toxins. Pathological bacteria, salts, mucous, and everything the body does not need will be drawn out and absorbed by the olive oil. If your body is toxic, you will spit out a foamy white mass instead of yellow olive oil. Attention! Rinse your mouth immediately after spitting the oil into the toilet. Do not swallow it- the residue is toxic! The discarded mass was examined in a laboratory and found to contain a highly concentrated poison. Where did the poison come from? Here is an explanation I read in a Russian health magazine: It turns out that the poisons in our body have an oily base. When the blood is passing through the capillaries under the tongue it comes into close contact with the olive oil and minute particles of toxins are absorbed. I do not know how close this explanation is to what actually takes place in the body when you chew olive oil, but I have a friend who has done it every morning for many years. She credits her excellent health to this ritual. Since the only place the toxicity could have come from is the body, I highly recommend we do this simple procedure daily
well lately i feel like aging too fast due to stress,
ReplyDeletehaha and i bet i need that too haha
come on, you are still young man.. ok ok, maybe you need some~~ :D
Deletejust the thought of taking that, it feels gross to me,
ReplyDeletegood thing that it doesnt work just that way
we can combined it in other dish right?
well i'll think of my combination
yes, you don't have to gulp it just like that.. just have it in your food and consume like two teaspoons, i think that's quite moderate yeah??
Deletewell as for me, what i think works in stoping aging
ReplyDeletewas to enjoy life as if, dont let stress enter your life
have enough sleep healthy lifestyle and good hygene
which is most of the time hard to attain because the world
we live in is too busy
of course, if we can always have a happy and stress-free life (which is so ideal), we don't really have to bother a lot, but there are also a lot of environmental factors that could keep us aging easily.. anyway, like you said, it's our attitude and mentality that is most important :)
Deleteyeah that's exactly what i meant haha,
Deleteanyway. i believe that the food we eat was a
ReplyDeletebig factor in aging, i mean is what we in take in our
body reflects in our appearance
oh yeah, imagine all those processed food that we just eat for convenience, those are really harmful..
Deletehave a great day and happy blogging sk,
ReplyDeletetake the best of care and god bless you
you too have a great day and a great week ahead too :)
DeleteStaying young is not derived from out diet alone, we must practice good lifestyle too. Must sleep at least 8 hours a day and drink 8 glasses of water, must be happy and not sulking all time, otherwise will get more wrinkles due to frowning, kekeke!
ReplyDeleteI agree here. Be happy always. This is the best practice/
DeleteYa, agree, must be happy...
Deletei totally agree with that.. it really depends on a lot of factors, externally and internally, for a person to stay young and happy.. while i may not be able to sleep 8 hours and drink 8 glasses of water a day, i guess i have to do that little extra to catch up with that, hahaha!! :D
DeleteThese days it is not easy to get 8 hours sleep and drink 8 glasses of plain water daily. The manufacturers of all the world's supplements and nutritional liquids are making billions of dollars to keep us alive and healthy. So drinking cheaper raw supplements like such virgin oils could replenish many areas in our bodies where 8 hours sleep and 8 glasses of water may not help much. We need more than that besides staying happy and stress free.
DeleteThat is a really good idea to consume olive oil! For me, I always like to eat pasta cooked aglio olio, which means plenty of olive oil in it! :)
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, it would be a little too gross to drink the oil just like that.. use it in our cooking and i am sure that would be sufficient.. :)
Deleteno wonder you are so pretty leh. LOL....
DeleteEh Thambee, it is not gross to drink them directly if you could, That was mentioned in the articles supporting this diet.
Deletegood recommendation. I, at one time drinking virgin coconut oil, it is so different to swallow it down and its flavour is strong, I felt bloated drinking it. Olive oil should be easier to drink.
ReplyDeletewould it have the same effect if we use olive oil in our cooking?
DeleteI also drink Virgin Coconut Oil too. It tastes better and delicious compared to Olive Oil. I think I am really Orang Minyak on the prowl. Beware!
DeleteTM, Any kind of virgin oil also can? What about married or divorced oil? ...;),
DeleteLOL at Bananaz joke.
DeleteWakakakakakakaka!!! Bananaz Oil.
Deletehave not heard about drinking coconut oil, as i always have that impression that it's not something healthy, hahaha!! BTW i just heard about drinking olive oil from this friend, and i just started doing so few days ago, can't see any effect yet though.. but then, everything must be extra virgin to be the best right?? :D
DeleteVirgin Airlines would probably serve extra virgin olive oil
DeleteWhyAskWhy!!!Wokay googled and got this..
DeleteIn chemical terms extra virgin olive oil is described as having a free acidity, expressed as oleic acid, of not more than 0.8 grams per 100 grams and a peroxide value of less than 20 milliequivalent O2. It must be produced entirely by mechanical means without the use of any solvents, and under temperatures that will not degrade the oil (less than 86°F, 30°C).
ah, thanks for googling that piece of info to share with us Bananaz.. no wonder the label on the bottle specifically mentioned "by mechanical press only"..
DeleteThank you to our BananaZ!! I have forgotten all these facts until he kindly posted them. No wonder the perfect climates and soil conditions of the Mediterraneans are most suitable to cultivate the best olive trees in the world.
Deletehahaha, durians?? did i hear durians?? nah, am not going to get used to it at all, muahahaha.. oh, all my photos are touched up using the freeware photoscape, the link is at my sidebar, found it?? :)
ReplyDeleteI thought today SK will probably post a few sentences only with a minimum of 50words. let me count and see.... is still more than 120words. Never mind lar, sometimes we intend to write and elaborate more. Today's topic it is just only about Olive Oil, already make a heat with more than 100 comments now! Good job everyone!
ReplyDeletehahaha, actually i wanted to have short post today but then ended up being long winded a bit lah, later too short i cannot convince my reader why i am "drinking" olive oil, sekali they say you not enough "oil stock" inside your body ke?? hahaha!!
DeleteSaw it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSK, this olive oil post of yours is smoothly flowing (like olive oil) with comments. LOL!
Have you tried the olives from East Malaysia? (STP has blogged about them a couple of times.) I love them. Still have some in my freezer.
Got avocado also right?
ReplyDeleteBut the flesh is thinner than imported one. :)

ReplyDeleteerr, i think applies to female also lah.. because that magazine i read is for men mah, haha~~
DeleteI only used olive oil when I cook spaghetti, don't know that it can be dressing for salad!!! Good to know another way of using it!!! =]
ReplyDeleteerrr, it's quite common to use that as dressing lah.. but you cook your spaghetti aglio olio, that's good enough to consume sufficient olive oil already..

ReplyDeleteno problem at all, just have a good rest and i am sure you will be stronger after your full recovery.. get well soon :)
Deleteoh, olives from East Malaysia?? hmmm, i didn't know our weather permits them to grow here, but now you mentioned it, i kind of recall STP has blogged about that before.. but err, i think i only found imported olive oils in the supermarket, haha!! :D
ReplyDeleteand avocado also?? that's interesting.. i hope the local ones are cheaper..
Cheaper per fruit but it's not really value for money as the seeds are too big and the flesh thin compared to the imported ones.
ReplyDeleteOh! Started on olive oil? Just read it in your Facebook post! LOL!
ReplyDeleteDifficult to drink this oil just like that? Why not dip bread into the oil and eat the bread instead?
ReplyDeleteI have no problem drinking the Virgin Olive Oil and Coconut Oils. I am already immuned to their tastes now after so many years and just easily pour them into my throat like heavenly nectars from the skies!!
DeleteDo it!!!
Recently, I started taking virgin coconut oil since I read up on a number of health sites and blogs touting the goodness of this oil. Maybe you should try it too. I can take this oil directly using the spoon without difficulty in swallowing.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Virgin Coconut Oil is very good too. Here is a Malaysian article written by Sandra John to support this.
DeleteWho would have thought that a tablespoon of cold-pressed virgin coconut oil three times a day could melt the pounds away? Yet research shows that it does exactly that plus boost our health is many other ways.
Virgin coconut oil is different from other cooking oils in that it has medium-chain fatty acids rather than long-chain fatty acids. It also contains caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid, all good compounds that are beneficial to our health.
Weight loss: if you’re looking to lose belly fat, you’ll be pleased with a recent study that showed women who consumed virgin coconut oil daily lost fat in their abdominal area.
This is supported by a 1986 study by TB Seaton et al in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that showed people who ate meals containing medium-chain fatty acids increased their metabolic rate an average of 12%, compared to only 4% in those eating meals with long-chain fatty acids. This helps prove the theory that the body uses virgin coconut oil for energy and does not store it as fat thus promoting weight loss.
Better digestion: many of us are familiar with the discomfit and pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and indigestion. By incorporating virgin coconut oil into your diet, you will find a significant reduction in your digestive problems. Virgin coconut oil fights unhealthy bacteria in your gut and also assists in nutrient absorption within the body.
More efficient thyroid: some patients with hypothyroidism have reportedly been able to improve or reverse altogether their condition by consuming extra virgin coconut oil daily. Although the results are not conclusive, you might want to give this a try should you have hypothyroidism. But consult your doctor first before going off any kind of prescribed medication.
Healthier heart: studies have shown that virgin coconut oil can reduce the risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and heart attack. That’s because the saturated fats in virgin coconut oil contain about 50% lauric acid that is heart-friendly while reducing the incidence of injury in arteries.
Stronger immune system: virgin coconut oil also has antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties that aid the body in fending off disease and illness thanks to the anti-microbial lipids, lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid that it contains.
Healthier skin: virgin coconut oil has immense antioxidant properties and makes a great moisturiser. It also helps fight bacteria and other skin problems including rashes, dermatitis, acne, wrinkles, eczema, and psoriasis. If you have an area of skin that is irritated, rub coconut oil on the skin to soothe the inflammation and reduce the symptoms. It also makes a great massage oil and helps in delaying the signs of premature ageing when used on your face.
Healthier hair and scalp: virgin coconut oil helps reduce protein loss during washing. For shinier, stronger and tangle-free hair, rub just a little onto your hair and scalp after a good wash. Apart from being an excellent conditioner, virgin coconut oil also helps in the re-growth of damaged hair and provides essential proteins for nourishing damaged hair.
100% Cold-Pressed Organic Virgin Coconut Oil can be purchased at leading pharmacies and some hypermarkets in Malaysia from RM52 and upwards for a 1000ml bottle. Smaller bottles are also available.
But I wonder if we take olive oil, omega 3 oil and virgin coconut oil - won't it be too much oil intake? Maybe just stick to one hahaha!! Or switch everyday. LOL
ReplyDeletewell, olive butter also good right? haha
ReplyDelete"olive oil can reduce aging in men" for men only ka? Women how? Later after consume become tua cepat :p
ReplyDeleteWoiii Mamarazzi!! You are such a well learned pussy cat who reads more books than Fat Mama ~ you should know that this Extra Virgin Olive Oil will increase your 9 Lives to 18 Lives!! It is suitable for any gender and race of the entire human population on Mother Earth!
DeleteAsk kaldip to drink too as it will greatly benefit him by healing his organs and prevent prostate cancer possibilities.
FonngPC is drinking Virgin Coconut Oil too! That is good to prevent dementia. I am feeding my father both oils everyday and it has helped an old man tremendously! We can do the same and rotate the intake for our own goodness and well being.
Deletedurian...can help in fighting aging ka? if yes i go borong one whole dusun :p
ReplyDeleteFirst time ate avacado the other day...hmmm didnt like it la...the other day saw avacado 99sens selling in Giant hypermarket.
I think the drinking one must be the Extra Virgin Olive Oil right?
ReplyDeleteMy gym buddies, those uncles and aunties always shared their healthy diet tips with Yannie while Yannie panting on treadmill. Ok, I have been hearing swallowing oil like sesame oil, olive oil and coconut oil. So far I have followed them by swallowing coconut oil and sesame oil, but I didn't try swallowing olive oil.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, one day, I will drop by the nearby organic shop to get myself a bottle of olive oil.
Delete得唔得架？就等你嚟驗證先，如果可行而且效果顯著我就嘗試。
