Physical Olive Benefits:
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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?Â
Â
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.Â

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!
