Hello ,

Today, I wanted to share some fascinating insights about olives, their remarkable health benefits, and their profound biblical significance. 

God has blessed us with wonderful gifts in the form of nutritious and delicious foods, including olives.

Exploring the foods mentioned in the Bible not only enlightens us about our physical well-being but also deepens our understanding of God's love and provision! 

Are you ready to uncover the wonders of olives with me?

Spiritual Olive Benefits:

Salvation Reminder: The olive tree serves as a powerful reminder of the eternal message of salvation. Just as the olive tree can live for hundreds of years, the message of salvation through Jesus' grace and faith endures throughout generations. Scriptures, such as John 3:16, emphasize the everlasting life granted to those who believe in Him.

God's Work in Us: The process of pressing olives to obtain oil provides us with a metaphorical reflection of God's work in our lives. Just as the purest oil was used for sacred purposes, offering God the best of what we have symbolizes our dedication to Him. Even during challenging times, when we feel pressed, God brings out the best in us, just like the finest oil is extracted through pressing.

Physical Olive Benefits:

Antihistamine Properties: Did you know that pure olives and olive oil can act as natural antihistamines? For those seeking a natural solution for allergies, incorporating olives into their diet can provide relief without the need for conventional antihistamines.

Lowers the Risk of Inflammation: Inflammation alerts us to potential issues in our bodies. Olives and extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) possess anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to overall well-being when compared to cheaper, less healthy oils and foods.

Lowers C-Reactive Protein: Evaluating C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels through regular bloodwork is crucial, as high levels indicate increased inflammation and a higher risk of conditions such as cancer and heart disease. Olives and olive oil can help maintain healthy CRP levels, supporting a healthier inflammatory response.

Anticancer Properties: Properly processed olives and olive oil retain glutathione, a master antioxidant that combats free radicals in our bodies. By inhibiting free radicals, which contribute to aging and physical decline, olives and olive oil offer remarkable health benefits.

So, are olives good for you? 

The answer is a resounding "Yes!" I encourage you to incorporate olives and olive oil into your daily diet if you haven't already done so. 

Remember, just as we are spiritual beings, we are also physical beings, and understanding the physical aspects of food helps us grasp the deeper spiritual elements that Jesus taught us through stories about food!
