10 Benefits of Olives
Benefit #8: Fights Inflammation
Inflammation is a natural bodily response. When the body detects an invader or a pathogen it creates inflammation so the immune system knows where to send T-cells to fight the invasion.
However, when people begin experiencing chronic inflammation when they are not sick, problems can arise. This is one of the reasons that anti-inflammatory compounds—like the oleocanthal found in olives—can be so useful for helping to maintain overall health.
