Going back to
my childhood, how could I not bring to my mind… the delicious slices of mashed
bread with olive oil, grated tomato, feta cheese (a traditional brined curd
cheese made in Greece) my late grandmother, made them and we ate every noon…
their taste still accompanies me and reminds me of both the origin and my
grandmother, so I would not lose an opportunity to come along even today, my
meals with this excellent snack. However, my most recent personal experience
certifies the therapeutic (healing) power of the oil. Specifically a few months
ago I was forced to consume several medicinal preparations for the preparations
of a severe colds which in combination with the cold season, as well as the
hassle of a trip of mine aboard and the continuous climate change, because of
many flights – caused me a special drying on my lips, accompanied with a
miserable texture but also stinging. After trying almost all the proper
“medicinal preparations” and the problem was not improved, I thought to prepare
a spreadable mixture with neat oil which for generations in our places we used
as therapeutic … and the miracle happened… the next day, the texture and image
of my lips, showed significant improvement! Besides today it is scientifically
proven, that olive oil protects the heart, helps in better functioning of many
organs, is beneficial in the facing of
many diseases and it has a preventive effect in many cancer types.
