Olives are good for satiating and controlling hunger and have virtually no effect on the synthesis of hormones associated with weight gain.
Some people love olives, and others hate them, but in the autumn season, this is exactly the product that should be in everyone’s diet, as it contains a lot of vitamins and essential nutrients.
Nutritionist Olga Bezugla told on Instagram who can and should eat olives and how much.
Olives – the benefits
The pulp of olives contains about 90% polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are not produced in the human body on their own and hardly accumulate.
Olives are a fatty product, good for satiating and controlling hunger, and have little or no effect on the synthesis of hormones associated with weight gain.
Olives are not consumed raw because they are very bitter. To remove the bitterness, olives are soaked in an alkaline solution and then kept in brine.
By the way, olives are the same olives, only ripe. In the presence of oxygen, the phenols contained in the fruit oxidize and the olives darken – this is how olives are obtained.
How many olives can you eat per day?
The nutritionist noted that you should not get carried away with olives, because they are salty and canned. One hundred grams of berries contain 3-4 grams of salt. The daily allowance of olives is no more than 10 berries.
