Why is it better to consume EVOO on an empty stomach?
.
Because the effect of what we ingest is different if our body is fasting or not. This is because when the body is fasting our stomach is empty, and as we have not taken anything for so long, it goes through different states, one of them and the best known is hypoglycaemia. What is this? It is a state in which the blood sugar level is lower than normal. Therefore, in this state, the body absorbs more quickly what is ingested, in addition, at this time the body pays full attention to the new elements it receives, because it is not working on any digestive process. Consequently, fasting is when we benefit most from the products we eat.
