Olives and olive oil, both staples of the Mediterranean diet, seem to turn back the clock when it comes to your skin. Here is what these SuperFoods can do for you:
Smooth skin
Protect against wrinkles and acne
Ease inflammation
Erase fine lines
Dissolve mucus
Boosts immune system
Alkalize your body's pH
Lower your risk of heart disease
Choose olive varieties that are packaged in glass and cured with vinegar, water, or sea salt. Avoid canned black olives and green (unripe) olives, as they are nutritionally deficient and don't afford all of these benefits. When it comes to Olive Oil, choose Extra Virgin, Cold Pressed varieties that are packaged in dark glass bottles to receive all of the benefits.
