Olive oil and grapefruit contributions

According to specialists from the Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN):

• Grapefruit is a fruit that contains vitamin C, b-carotenes, lycopene and organic acids.
  • Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) acts as an antioxidant in the body and helps protect cells from free radicals. In addition, it improves iron absorption and contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system.
• Olive oil is a source of monounsaturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E.
  • Vitamin E also acts as an antioxidant and helps to dilate blood vessels and prevent blood clots. In addition, cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and perform numerous important functions.

Due to their content of antioxidant substances, both foods are recommended to maintain health and contribute to the cleansing of important organs such as the liver and gallbladder.
