Olive: Good for the Heart

A popular appetizer in seasonings and salads, olives prevent the clogging of veins and arteries, reducing bad LDL cholesterol, which causes strokes – also known as cerebral infarction – and heart attacks.

This fruit is an excellent source of vitamins A and E, in addition to minerals like iron, calcium, and phosphorus. It is also rich in polyphenols, which neutralize the action of free radicals in the body.

Five olives a day is the exact amount for consumption in salads, seasonings, among other recipes.

What's more, due to its fiber and water content, it contributes to healthy bowel function.
