Efficacy and function of olive leaves

1, reducing blood pressure and hypertension:

Olive leaves can prevent and regulate blood pressure. Animal studies have shown that olive leaf extract (OLE) supplementation before or after hypertension has similar positive results. OLE reduces the increase of blood pressure by reducing the production of low density lipoprotein cholesterol. This can also improve the blood flow to the heart blood vessels. For the first stage of hypertension, OLE relieves tension and dilates blood vessels, and reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure. However, this effect on hypertension may not be seen in overweight people.

2. Enhance the immune system:

Olive leaves and their extracts have natural antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial activities, and can resist viruses that cause influenza and other infections. Because of its antiviral properties, it is also used to reverse the changes caused by HIV- 1 virus-related infections.

3, supplement the skin:

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays is usually inevitable, which is a common cause of skin diseases. OLEs is used as a photoprotective agent in skin care products to treat skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays. They also prevent cancer and tumor growth associated with ultraviolet radiation by lowering the level of specific enzymes.

Oleuropein helps to prevent free radicals from damaging the skin and has anti-aging effect. Traditionally, different forms of olives have been used as skin cleaners and lipsticks for inflammatory wounds, but this is not without any foundation. Studies have shown that olive leaves can effectively heal wounds, especially inflammation.
