Olives are not only a culinary delicacy, but are also a symbol of health and well-being. Even in ancient times, olives were valued as a remedy and there are numerous indications that they have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. The heart is often associated with love, passion and vitality. Like the heart, the olive is a symbol of vitality and life energy. Their high content of unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants make them a valuable food that can protect and strengthen the heart. The connection between olives and the heart therefore goes far beyond culinary enjoyment. When we consume olives, we can not only pamper our palate, but also do something good for our heart. So let’s treat ourselves to a handful of olives every now and then and let them strengthen and revitalize us from the inside out.
