Health benefits of olives

Olives are a staple of the Mediterranean diet. They’re associated with many health benefits, especially for heart health and cancer prevention.

Antioxidant properties

Dietary antioxidants have been shown to reduce your risk of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer.

Olives are rich in antioxidants, with health benefits ranging from fighting inflammation to reducing microorganism growth.

One study showed that eating a pulpy residue from olives significantly increased blood levels of glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants in your body.

Improved health

High blood cholesterol and blood pressure are both risk factors for heart disease.

Oleic acid, the main fatty acid in olives, is associated with improved heart health. It may regulate cholesterol levels and protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation.

Furthermore, some studies note that olives and olive oil may reduce blood pressure.

Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and bone quality. It can increase your risk of fractures.

The rates of osteoporosis are lower in Mediterranean countries than in the rest of Europe, leading to speculation that olives might protect against this condition.
