You’re better off consuming it as part of dishes.I heard someone say he has started drinking a shot of olive oil daily for it's health benefits. Can we think of any reasons why this is a bad idea? It just sounds wrong. And since the guy is a dumbass to the nth degree I would hesitate to believe anything he says is a good idea.
It’s a healthy fat, but it is calorie dense. Drinking it can lead to weight increases and may suppress appetite for consuming other healthy foods.
When you eat it with food, it enhances the flavor, and may help you absorb fat-soluble nutrients. Plus, science hasn’t been able to support all the health claims for simply drinking it.
Making olive oil vinaigrettes is pretty simple, and a great way to increase your olive oil consumption. Better varieties of EVOO- the kind enough flavor you’d want to drink- make a great dip for tasty bread, especially when seasoned with things like pepper, salt and so forth.
