Olive oil was referred to as “Liquid Gold” by the famous Greek poet Homer. If you are what you eat, what would happen if you consumed “Liquid Gold” daily?

Olive oil has so many health benefits I include a little every day when I eat my salad. Make sure you are using real olive oil. Have you heard of the olive oil fraud?

Use the Best Water to Make Your Pea Soup
When you are making your healthy soup make sure you are not filling your body with chemicals from unclean water. I know that it was making me ill a long time ago when I used to drink regular water and I have always drank filtered water since. As it can be expensive to always have to buy water I decided to purchase a filtration system to filter my water at home. It is an upfront cost but it has saved me lot’s over the years. Here is the water filter that I am currently using and I am very happy with it. The only way to remove fluoride from your water is to use a reverse osmosis system and some systems are better than others. When I did my research this is the one I decided on.
