Dr. Rixt Luikenaar answered

Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Why do you take it: Question yourself about any supplements; no need to take them. You can eat olives, bake in olive oil (healthier then butter). Don't overdo anything (moderation is key). The mediterrean diet has become popular. Use it wisely. Don't drink alcohol.
