The Vitamin E, mono-saturated fats and phytonutrients in olives assist the health and function of the ovaries, which are similar in size and shape to the olive fruit.

The polyphenols and flavonoids found in olives have significant anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial in the prevention of some cancers.
