IslamoSophia - Food and Health

I was going to post about the date today, but found there was so much information from Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his family) on how to combine the date with other foods in order to maintain the balance of the body and then with the differences between the dry, and fresh and unripe dates, I decided to post on what I found on the olive since it is significantly less complicated of a fruit and therefore there was less consideration  that was required in eating them.  I also felt that you would all be happy with some of this information and so here it is for today.
