I’m a Celeb’s Jacqueline Jossa snacks on appetite-reducing superfood

One of Jacqueline Jossa’s go-to meals is what she likes to eat between meals. There are numerous health benefits included in it that are available in the majority of supermarkets.

In a previous interview with Closer, the BBC soap regular claimed her diet varies depending on what’s happening day-to-day. But, she said her go-to snack choice usually inclcudes a small but mighty superfood.

Because there are many varieties and colors, the former I’m A Celebrity winner didn’t specify what kind of olives she wanted. But, all have similar health perks, ranging from head to toe.

When compared to fully ripe black olives, classic green ones are not ripe. Black olives are more nutrient-dense because they are allowed to mature fully at this point, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid green ones entirely.

The small Mediterranean fruits are “very high in vitamin E and other powerful antioxidants”, according to Healthline. Vitamin E assists in maintaining healthy skin and eyes, as well as strengthening the immune system’s natural defenses against illness and infection.

Olives are also potent antioxidants that have been shown to lower your risk of developing chronic diseases and some cancer types. Olives have been linked to a decrease in the risk of heart disease, according to some studies.

You might find it more satisfying to snack on olives instead of unhealthy snacks like crisps and biscuits. A portion of the fruits helps to regulate appetite and sends signals to your brain to stop making you feel hungry. They are high in unsaturated fats and fiber, which means that a serving helps to regulate appetite.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes healthy fats, making olives a recurring component. According to research, those who adopt this lifestyle can occasionally “lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.”

Before you go guzzling olives, there’s a warning you need to be aware of. Although the fruit itself isn’t particularly salty, the content is higher because they are frequently brined or packaged in salt water or brine.

Therefore, anyone who is low sodium-fed should cut back on their intake, as the NHS advises no more than 6g of salt per day for anyone over the age of 11. For context, that works out as roughly one teaspoon.
