4. Olives
“Olives are a rich source of vitamins A and E, both of which protect the oils on the surface of your skin from free radical damage,” praises Peggy Kotsopoulos, RHN of the tantalizing treat, nutritionist, and author of Kitchen Cures.
“Olives also help strengthen connective tissues, improving skin tone and protecting against UV radiation. The rich monounsaturated fat content is particularly helpful to the heart since it reduces the risk for atherosclerosis [a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries] while raising good HDL cholesterol.”
