According to BBC Entertainment News, Sophia Loren was voted the world's most naturally beautiful person. What's her beauty secret? Love of life and spaghetti and "the odd bath in virgin olive oil". Sophia Loren, who is 71, is also the oldest woman to pose for the famous Pirelli calendar. Sophia Loren grew up in the slums of Naples and started working as a model when she was 14. She won an Oscar for best actress for the movie Two Women in 1962. Guess it's time to eat more spaghetti and fill the tub with olive oil.

Italy is the second largest producer of olive oil in the world and olive oil plays a big role in Italian cuisine. Olive oil is believed to have a number of health benefits. Italians also have other uses for olive oil, including using olive oil as a mosturizer for the skin and hair.
