The antioxidants in olive oil and the nutrients in milk combine to form a mixture that is good for your skin and overall health.

1. Nourish your skin

Olive oil contains antioxidants and monounsaturated fats, while milk provides calcium, protein and essential vitamins that when combined, create a mixture that moisturizes your skin.

You can apply this mixture to your skin as a facial mask. Mix two tablespoons of milk with one tablespoon of olive oil, apply it to your face for 15 minutes and wash it off for radiant skin.

2. Aid your gut

The healthy fats in olive oil work wonders for your gut, promoting smoother bowel movements. Mix a tablespoon of olive oil in a cup of warm milk and drink it before bed to help relieve constipation.

3. Balances Blood Sugar

The combination of olive oil and milk can help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is especially helpful for people at risk of type 2 diabetes.

4. Boosts Bone Health

The calcium in milk and the healthy fats from olive oil, when combined, can strengthen your skeletal system.
