Preventive medical benefit of olive trees:
Dear noble brothers,
in many sound Prophetic Ahadeeth, the Prophet PBUH referred to the olive tree
as the blessed tree. This description (i.e. the blessed tree) is also mentioned
in the Noble Quran.
I came across an
informative site where a very precise fact is mentioned. The article says that British
scientists found new evidences that prove the preventive medical benefits of
the olive tree in treating intestine cancer which is the main reason behind the
deaths of more than 20.000 patients every year in Britain alone. This number is
astronomically higher around the world.
Other researchers
found out that the olive oil interacts with a peptic acid, and thus it prevents
the occurrence of cancer.
Dear noble brothers,
the intestine cancer prevails in 28 countries around the world, most of which
are in Europe, America, Brazil, Colombia, Canada and China. Researchers found
out that some nutritional items play a role in having this disease, and that
the rates of patients decreases among those who eat lots of vegetables and
grains.
A noble dear
brother, who lived in USA for thirty years, said to me, "According to a detailed study, scientists found out that
the Mediterranean food is the best in the world, because it depends basically on
vegetables." Actually, the Mediterranean countries do not eat canned
juices. Instead, they drink fresh juices, and the fibers within accelerate the
digestion process and absorb the surplus cholesterol. Accordingly, the food
stays in the intestine for the shortest possible time. Furthermore, the olive
oil is an essential nutrition in these countries (the Mediterranean countries).
Since these
countries have lots of grains in their food, it is worth mentioning that the proteins found in check
beans and fava beans are the best kind of proteins. On the other hand, the
intestine cancer is 8 times more in the rich countries where the food is
essentially based on red meat.
Dear noble brothers, another study shows that
the risk of intestine diseases decreases upon eating food that is rich of olive
oil. The medical benefits of olive oil are not limited to protect the heart from
its diseases, but rather it prevents so many other diseases mentioned in this
study. Moreover, man's age depends on his arteries' age, and olive oil is one
of the nutrients that maintain the flexibility of the arteries.
