Health-related Benefits of Introducing Table Olives Into the Diet of Young Adults: Olives For Health
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Healthy Diet, Cholesterol, Healthy Lifestyle, Healthy Nutrition
In brief
The purpose of this study is to assess whether introducing table olives into the diet results in health-related benefits for young adults. Several studies have shown that addition of olives as part of somebody's diet has a positive impact on cardiovascular, metabolic, and inflammatory factors. However, there have not been many studies among young, healthy adults. This study will compare levels of specific biomarkers, collected through blood draw, at the beginning of the study and after 5 weeks, to evaluate the effects of investigational daily olive consumption.
