In the 1990s scientists carried out extensive research to discover the healthiest diet. The answer was the Mediterranean and more specifi cally, the Greek diet. The incidence of heart and other degenerative diseases is far less in the Mediterranean countries than anywhere else in the western world. One of the cornerstones of this diet is the olive – as fruit and olive oil, something the Spanish, French, Italians and Greeks have known for centuries. What was less known by the medical and dietary professions was that the leaves possess far more of the beneficial properties and nutrients than the rest of the tree. Olive Leaf Extract is an all-natural product which has been used as a traditional remedy for centuries.
