Nutritional properties and benefits of olives

Olives are a food rich in nutritional properties, valued for their content of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. In particular, they are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, which promote heart health, and contain vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. They are also rich in minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium, essential for the body’s well-being.

In addition to essential nutrients, olives are particularly known for polyphenols, natural compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies suggest that regular consumption of polyphenols may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and may play a role in preventing neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Thanks to the combination of nutrients and beneficial compounds, olives represent a versatile and healthy food, ideal for a balanced diet.
