Drinking extra virgin olive oil
I am 55 years old woman with diabetes, hypothyroidism, increased levels of uric acid, cholesterol and triglycerides. They remain under control with proper medications. Recently, I heard about the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil. I want to know whether I can consume it or not. What should be the dose and what must be the best time to consume it?
Please help.
