Description
Olive leaves have been used as a natural remedy for many centuries, with references to their use in ancient Egyptian medicine. In fact, the ancient Egyptians had such respect for the olive leaf that it was seen as a symbol of divine power.
A large number of the purported health benefits of olive leaf extract have been verified by recent scientific studies.
Antihypertensive properties, or the ability to lower blood pressure, have been observed in studies with olive leaves. This is possible because of its potential to boost nitric oxide production and cause blood vessels to widen.
Disease Risk Olive leaf extract may help promote cardiovascular health by doing just that. It may also help lower cholesterol and prevent blood clots.
Olive leaf has been demonstrated to lower blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity in those with type 2 diabetes. By decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress, it may also aid in preventing the onset of diabetes.
Olive leaf includes chemicals that, in laboratory experiments, have shown to have anticancer characteristics, suggesting that it may reduce the risk of cancer. These chemicals have shown promise in inhibiting cancer cell growth and metastasis and in promoting cell death.
Olive leaf extract may have neuroprotective properties and enhance mental performance. Neurotrophic factors, which aid in the development and survival of brain cells, are increased in response to this, and inflammation in the brain is decreased.
Olive leaf’s anti-inflammatory properties suggest it may be useful in treating arthritis by alleviating associated symptoms, including pain and swelling.
