Yes, they are. If you have no problem with your cholesterol and other lipid profile, they are indeed. Avoid the salty ones, cause they cause your blood pressure to rise up to the skies !! Olives are a good source of "healthy fat" but they are not indicated for a low calories diet program!!

yes, thats why the mediterranean diet is so good for us, and why the people of the Med live longer and have less heart disease. I have psoriasis and arthritis, got sunburnt even just thinking of the sun. Having lived in the Med for three years, the arthritis is good now, the skin almost perfect and dont get sunburned. I eat olives and always cook with olive oil. I am of the larger serving body wise, but have low blood cholesterol and absolutely normal blood pressure, but with everything, its pleasure in moderation

Medicinal Action and Uses---The leaves are astringent and antiseptic. Internally, a decoction of 2 handsful boiled in a quart of water until reduced to half a pint has been used in the Levant in obstinate fevers. Both leaves and bark have valuable febrifugal qualities.
The oil is a nourishing demulcent and laxative. Externally, it relieves pruritis, the effects of stings or burns, and is a good vehicle for liniments. With alcohol it is a good hair-tonic. As a lubricant it is valuable in skin, muscular, joint, kidney and chest complaints, or abdominal chill, typhoid and scarlet fevers, plague and dropsies. Delicate babies absorb its nourishing properties well through the skin. Its value in worms or gallstones is uncertain.
Internally, it is a laxative and disperser of acids, and a mechanical antidote to irritant poisons. It is often used in enemas. It is the best fat for cooking, and a valuable article of diet for both sick and healthy of all ages. It can easily be taken with milk, orange or lemon juice, etc.
