7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
If you need some additional protection for your heart, use extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil also guards against cancer. You need this kind of oil even if you are perfectly healthy! Olive oil contains polyphenols that reduce oxidation and help you stay young for longer. Add cold-pressed extra virgin to salads to make them even healthier.
8. Water
Water is life. We mostly consist of water and we need it every day to feel good. If you do not give your body enough pure water, it will start retaining all kinds of liquids. This will make you believe that, instead of losing weight, you gain pounds. Wash all toxins out – drink at least 2 liters of still water a day. In summer you are advised to drink up to 3 liters!
