Do you love olives?
Introducing the beneficial properties of olives.
Cardiovascular benefits
When free radicals oxidize cholesterol, blood vessels are damaged and fat builds up in arteries, possibly leading to a heart attack.
The antioxidant nutrients in black olives impede this oxidation of cholesterol, thereby helping to prevent heart disease.
Olives do contain fat, but it's the healthy monounsaturated kind, which has been found to shrink the risk of atherosclerosis and increase good cholesterol.
Cancer prevention
Black olives are a great source of vitamin E, which has the brilliant ability to neutralize free radicals in body fat.
The free radicals can cause oxidation, damaging a cell's mitochondria, and preventing the cell from producing enough energy to supply its needs. If the DNA of a cell is damaged, it may well mutate and become cancerous.
Skin and hair health
Black olives are rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish, hydrate and protect. Chief among those is vitamin E. Whether applied topically or ingested, vitamin E has been shown to protect skin from ultraviolet radiation, thus guarding against skin cancer and premature aging. It has a similar effect on the hair structure.
Olives are rich in iron.
Olives are good for immunity, eyes, digestive system, bone and connective tissues.
