Is your olive oil the real deal? I just love a good olive oil! And it so good for you with health benefits like protecting against strokes and heart disease, providing large amounts of antioxidants, and possibly protecting you from Alzheimers, just to name a few. However, there are many “fake” olive oils being sold! Possibly over 60% of olive oils on the market are in fact not pure olive oil! Check out this article at Mind Body Green that explains a 3-second trick to finding out if your favorite olive oil is indeed real.

A few weeks ago my stomach got really bloated and uncomfortable and it lasted for several days. It was really annoying, to say the least. I couldn’t contribute it to one particular thing so I do as I often do – I searched the Internet. I am pretty sure I found the culprit. Garlic!! I had been consuming a lot of roasted garlic trying to beef up my immunity against the flu while it was running amok all over the country. Well, I didn’t get the flu, but I did get bloated, gassy, and uncomfortable! I will continue to eat garlic. It’s really good for you and I love the taste when it is roasted, but I will just have to not eat so much in a short period of time. It’s not the only thing that can cause gastrointestinal upset.
