How olives can help with maintaining your health and wellness... (Nutritious Foods series)

7/31/2022

​When it comes to healthy eating, olives are often thought of in their tasty and nutritious oil form. As a whole food, olives are an excellent source of nutrients and a wonderful addition to a variety of dishes. Olives are too bitter for consumption when picked directly from the tree. Olives are cured and processed through a variety of methods. Curing methods include brine, lye and water curing. 
 
Olives are nutritious fruits that are rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, calcium, iron, dietary fiber and copper. While olives have a significant amount of fat, the majority of fat found in olives is monounsaturated. Monounsaturated fats help defend cell’s outer membranes. Cell damage risk is greatly reduced when monounsaturated fats and antioxidants are part of a diet.

Olives also contain antioxidants such as vitamin E. Monounsaturated fats reduce the risk of various cancers including colon cancer. The fats, combined with vitamin E, weaken free radicals in the system.
 
Free radicals cause various conditions of inflammation. Anti-inflammatory properties come from monounsaturated fats. Those suffering from osteoarthritis, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis can benefit from the pain relieving properties of olives. 
 
Vitamin E stops the oxidation process that can lead to an unhealthy buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. The oxidation process also harms blood vessels and intensifies the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Vitamin E lessens the possibility of various heart diseases. It is even beneficial to women going through menopause by helping reduce the amount and intensity of hot flashes. 
 
Using olive oil for culinary reasons is much more beneficial than other fats such as hydrogenated fat, which are known to aggravate the stomach. The highest content of vitamin E in olive oil is found in extra-virgin olive oil. Other oils such as pure, extra-light and virgin olive oil go through more processing that extra-virgin olive oil. 
 
The process for making olive oil involves pressing or crushing the olives. Olive oil is commonly used when preparing healthy meals and the fruit itself offers potent health benefits.
 
Vitamin A is a rich antioxidant that promotes the counterbalancing of carcinogens. Vitamin A prevents cancers such as prostate, stomach, throat and colon cancers. It also prevents tumors from growing. The vitamin promotes skin renewal and encourages healthy skin development. Vitamin A helps repair damaged cell membranes and tissue as well. 
 
Both black and green olives are great additions to a variety of dishes including pasta, salads and lean meat.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
