This is a two part article on many strange uses of olive oil in home. We all know that olive oil is healthy to eat but we do not know there are many unusual uses of olive oil in home.




What is olive oil?


Try many strange uses of olive oil in home
Olive oil is mainly comprised of monounsaturated fatty acids. A healthier type of fat, it reduces total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol levels in the bloodstream, while raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL or “good”) cholesterol levels.

High quality extra virgin olive oil, in particular, provides a high content of antioxidants, like polyphenols, vitamins E & K, chlorophyll and carotenoids. Antioxidants are key to strengthening the immune system and protecting the body from the damaging effects of free-radical molecules.

Olive oil contains anti-inflammatory agents, like oleocanthal, that act as a natural ibuprofen-like substance.

Olive oil has dozens of unusual uses around the house, not to mention its powerful moisturizing and healing properties on the hair and skin. Check out many reasons why you should buy Olive oil.



Try as a Skin moisturizer




You might think using olive oil as a moisturizer would leave you with oily skin, but that’s not the case. Used in small amounts, it seeps in completely, eliminating dryness and reducing the appearance of wrinkles without clogging pores.



Try as an Eye makeup remover




Even the heaviest, drag-show-worthy makeup job can’t stand up to the removal power of olive oil. Dab a little on a cotton pad and your eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara – including waterproof formulas – will wipe right off.



Homemade Bath oil




Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and you’ve got custom bath oil that will gently scent and moisturize your skin.



Use for Smooth shaves




Slick and moisturizing, olive oil will help your razor glide along your skin for a super-close, smooth shave with fewer nicks.



Homemade Throat soother




Got a big singing performance or speech coming up? Swallow a tablespoon of olive oil just before you step on stage and you won’t have to clear your throat nearly as often. This trick also works to soothe itchy throats and lubricate the back of the mouth and tonsil area, which may lessen snoring.

How to get Free Education with World Elite Universities (MIT, Duke, and Harvard)

This is my 8th articles on getting university education. In previous articles we saw more info about some free scholarships and other aspect of university education. We all know how costly the university education is? .If anyone wants to do he needs either lot of money or a student loan. In this article you will find that you can get free if you using MOOC.


 

What is MOOC?

How to get Free Education with Elite Universities (MIT, Duke, and Harvard)

MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Courses. Although there has been access to free online
courses on the Internet for years, the quality and quantity of courses has changed.

Access to free courses has allowed students to obtain a level of education that many only could dream of in the past. This has changed the face of education. In The New York Times article Instruction for Masses Knocked Down Campus Walls, author Tamar Lewin stated, “in the past few months hundreds of thousands of motivated students around the world who lack access to elite universities have been embracing them as a path toward sophisticated skills and high-paying jobs, without paying tuition or collecting a college degree.”



How to get Free Education with Elite Universities (MIT, Duke, and Harvard)
Although MOOCs are the latest trend, not everyone agrees that schools should offer them. Joshua Kim Insight Higher Ed article Why Every University Does Not Need a MOOC noted that offering free material may not make sense for the individual university. It may be more important to stand out in other ways.

There may also be some issues for students who lack motivation. Since a MOOC is voluntary and there is no penalty for dropping the program or lagging behind, there may be issues with course completion. Although a student may have received an excellent education, there will not be a corresponding diploma.



For those who desire a free education and have the motivation, the following includes the: Top 10 Sites for Information about MOOCs:
