The leaves also contain compounds that can both <strong>boost the immune system<\/strong> and <strong>improve cardiovascular health<\/strong> by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n<p>Benefits on the heart are also a consequence of the <strong>increased elasticity of the arteries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Leaves also have <strong>antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and energising properties<\/strong>. Some investigations have also revealed that the leaf extracts are <strong>useful against diabetes<\/strong> (thanks to their hypoglicemic action), degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s, and cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Other researchers suggest that the leaf decoction might <strong>prevent osteoporosis<\/strong> thanks to its <strong>oleuropein<\/strong> content.
