What Happens If You Take Olive Oil Before Bed Every Night?

There is a bottle that sits on many a kitchen shelf now, and folks are told all manner of wild things about it. Olive oil. You will hear it called liquid gold, a miracle in a bottle, a cure for near everything, a thing to drink by the spoonful before bed to work wonders in your sleep. And I am here to tell you the plain truth about it, which is quieter than all that and, to my mind, more useful. Olive oil is not a miracle. It will not cure your ills or work magic in the night. But it is a genuinely good fat, one of the soundest everyday fats there is, and used plainly in your cooking and on your food it is a real good to your table and your health. I want to be plain with you about why I am doing this one a little differently. There is so much wild talk about this oil that I think the plain truth is worth more than another list of wonders. So I am not going to promise you miracles. I am going to tell you honestly what this oil is and what it is good for, no more and no less, because a plain true thing you can trust is worth ten grand promises that fall apart. I am Elias Yoder. My family came over from the German country and settled in Lancaster County in 1838. Now I will tell you plainly, the olive does not grow here in Lancaster, it is no crop of ours, and so olive oil is a thing we buy, not a thing we make, and I speak of it as a plain good food a body can buy and use well, not as some old Amish secret, for it is not that. And I am not a doctor. If you have a real trouble of the heart or the body, that is your doctor's matter, and no oil takes the place of that. In this video I give you the plain honest truth, what it is, how to choose a good one, and how to use it well. What you will learn: ✔ The plain truth of what olive oil is, why it is one of the good fats, gentle and kind to the heart, and no need to fear it ✔ The gentle good besides the fat, real but modest, quiet helpers and not miracle workers ✔ How to choose a good one, why extra virgin of the first pressing is the kind you want ✔ The plain honest tip for knowing a fresh one, the lively, faintly peppery bite in the throat ✔ How to keep it, dark bottle, cool dark cupboard, used up fresh, away from light and heat ✔ The plain right way to use it, as your everyday cooking and dressing fat, not drunk by the spoonful ✔ Why it is not the best choice for very hard, smoking-hot frying, and where it shines instead ✔ The honest word on what it does and does not do, and why no single food is a miracle This is not a miracle. It is a good plain fat, plainly used, which is worth far more than any miracle that isn't true. Choose the good extra virgin, keep it fresh in a dark cool place, and use it plainly over your food and in your everyday cooking, in the place of worse fats. Do that, and you have a real good food doing your heart a quiet kindness over the years. Tell me in the comments below. How did the folks in your family use their fats and oils, plainly, in the everyday cooking? Did your people cook and dress with a particular fat or oil they trusted? And have you found, as I have, that using a good olive oil plainly, over your food and in your cooking, is a fine and pleasant thing without any need of miracles? Where did your folks come from, and what did they cook with? The plain old sensible ways with food are worth remembering and worth keeping, so write yours down here. I read every single one. Next video, since today we talked plainly about a good fat, I want to do the plain old truth about fats altogether, the butter and the lard and the oils, which ones the careful old folks used and feared and trusted, and what is true and what is just a scare among all the talk of good fats and bad. Subscribe so you do not miss it. The old people did not need a food to be a miracle. They needed it to be good and honest and plainly used, and that was enough. And that is a kind of wisdom that does not wear out, in any house that still remembers it. #AmishHealth #OliveOil #ExtraVirginOliveOil #HealthyFats #OldWaysRemembered #PennsylvaniaDutch #GoodFats #EatRealFood #NaturalLiving #AmishWisdom #HeartHealth #CookingFats #HomesteadHealth #SimpleLiving #PlainEating
