RITUAL FOR GOOD DIGESTION
Among the wellness rituals I've incorporated into my routine, there's one I'm particularly fond of: my morning blend of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. I was looking for natural ways to improve my digestion and overall health. At the time, I was experiencing frequent acne breakouts, persistent fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and daily bloating.
That's when I discovered this surprising yet oh-so-effective duo: a shot of olive oil and lemon, taken on an empty stomach every morning. A ritual that's become part of my daily routine. Without any pretensions or miracle solutions, this natural shot boosts my metabolism and prepares my digestive system for the day, while being easy to prepare and rich in health benefits.
Why is this ritual so effective?
I consume this blend in the morning, on an empty stomach, so that the oil coats my digestive system and protects the walls of my stomach, allowing me to fully benefit from its benefits. Here are the positive effects I've noticed:
- Improves digestion and relieves constipation: Olive oil acts as a natural lubricant for the intestines, promoting smooth transit.
- Liver and Gallbladder Detoxification: Lemon stimulates bile production, which helps digest fats and eliminate toxins.
- Immunity Boost: With its antioxidants, olive oil helps fight inflammation, while lemon offers a generous dose of vitamin C.
- Hydration and vitality: Lemon maintains good hydration and its alkalizing properties provide a natural energy boost.
- Anti-aging and beauty effect: Extra virgin olive oil contains compounds like oleocanthal, which promote collagen production and improve skin health.
- Metabolism Boost: Taken on an empty stomach, this blend can wake up the metabolism, preparing the digestive system for the day.

Why extra virgin olive oil and lemon?
Variation: cayenne pepper
Sometimes I add a pinch of cayenne pepper to intensify the effects. This pepper contains capsaicin, a compound known to speed up metabolism and support weight management by stimulating calorie expenditure.
