While you can drink olive oil at any time of day, many people say that they prefer to do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Be sure to pay close attention to your body, as some people with delicate digestive systems find that consuming anything too oily or acidic on an empty stomach can cause gastrointestinal distress. If you find that drinking olive oil on an empty stomach does not agree with your body, then try taking it with a meal instead. You may have heard that people in the Mediterranean region drink 1/4 cup (60 ml) of olive oil every morning and, in recent years, consuming oils straight has spread beyond the region and become somewhat popular. If you would like to start drinking olive oil, then you should start off with a smaller amount. Consuming between one teaspoon and one tablespoon (three teaspoons) of olive oil should be enough to get you the benefits without upsetting your stomach. When drinking olive oil for health benefits, you should always choose extra virgin olive oil. This high-quality olive oil contains higher amounts of healthy fats and antioxidants when compared to refined olive oils and thus will provide the most health benefits. For even better results, buy from reputable brands who are transparent about when, where and how their olive oil is harvested and also provide a harvest date so you can make sure to consume the olive oil before it passes its peak. Many conscious U.S. consumers prefer to purchase domestic California extra virgin olive oil, which does not have to travel as far and is subject to rigorous quality control.

Should You Drink Olive Oil?

It is up to you whether or not you want to drink olive oil. Drinking olive oil is certainly an efficient way to consume the antioxidants and healthy fats present in the oil. However, if you do not like the idea of drinking olive oil, then you can always incorporate it into your diet in other ways, such as using it as an ingredient while cooking. If you want to get into drinking olive oil, but find the taste of olive oil too strong on its own, then flavored olive oil might be able to help you transition to drinking olive oil. At Brightland, we offer numerous flavored olive oils, including basil flavored olive oil, chili flavored oil and lemon flavored olive oil. Drinking flavored olive oil can help you get in the habit of drinking olive oil every day and provide a stepping stone to drinking unflavored extra virgin olive oil. Remember that starting small and working your way up will also make it easier to adjust to drinking olive oil. One teaspoon really is not that much, so start with that if you cannot go for a tablespoon right away.

Is it normal to pee 3 times in 8 hours?

This also applies to normal urinary frequency. For most people, the normal number of times to urinate per day is between 6 – 7 in a 24 hour period. Between 4 and 10 times a day can also be normal if that person is healthy and happy with the number of times they visit the toilet.

Frequency refers to the number of times you go to the toilet to pass urine in a day. If you need to go to the toilet very often, more than seven times a day on drinking approximately 2 litres of fluid, you may have a frequency problem. This can be caused by an overactive bladder. The bladder might contract even when it doesn’t need to; for example, if your bladder only has a small amount of urine in it, or may be oversensitive. This means that you feel the need to go to the toilet more often. Frequency is often associated with urgency and urge incontinence. You can find information about treatment options available if you find yourself going to the toilet too often.
