New Hit Among Serbs: Olive Oil and Lemon Before Bed
For decades, they have been allies of every healthy kitchen.
TL;DR
- A new trend suggests drinking a mix of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice before bed.
- Claims include resetting the body, improving digestion, and promoting healthy skin.
- Olive oil is said to help 'lubricate' the digestive tract, while lemon stimulates stomach acid.
- Scientific evidence for the combined dramatic effects is limited; individual benefits of olive oil (heart health, digestion) and lemon (Vitamin C) are known.
- Claims of 'liver detox' lack strong evidence; healthy lifestyle choices are key for liver function.
- The recommended preparation is simple, but caution is advised for individuals with digestive issues like gastritis or reflux.
