Olive Oil is good for your health because it has the good fats in it... Omega fatty acids are fats that are good fats that counteract the bad fats . These kinds of fats can be found in pill form Ex. flax seeds... etc.. Olive oil is consider to be one of those healthy fats ... Just look at the Meditaranean people... They are healthy and use alot of Olive oil... I use 3 different kinds of olive oil depending on what I am cooking ...
Hope this helped :)

Yes there are many reasons why olive oil is good for health. First any fats in your diet satisfy your palate, which is a really good thing. Why do you think when we are stressed and tired that we crave certain foods. Fatty foods release certain hormones that make us feel good. Secondly fats in your diet help aid digestion. It kind of helps to lubricate the plumbing if you know what I mean. Thirdly olive oil is full of omega 3's that help raise good cholesterol and lower the bad. Plus olive oil is versatile for cooking, dressings, dips. Olive oil is also a great lubricant for your skin. I actually rub the oil on my cuticles before bed to help them not to crack during the dry weather.

It is my understanding that olive oil is good for you as compared to many other types of oil. It is not a trans-fat, has little saturated fat, and it has antioxidents, which are all positive things. While you wouldn't want to use a lot of ANY fat, I would certainly think that olive oil would be a good choice when you need to use oil in cooking.

yes, olive oil is definitely good for your health--extra virgin olive oil is best!!! i use extra virgin olive oil to moisturize my skin :) of course the best form of olive oil is with salads, or lightly heated only... no deep frying should be done with olive oil because olive oil burns easily and the composition of the oil will change...

I know that it is good for you.
It is a type of fat. The good kind of fat, which helps fight off the bad kind of fat.
So, yes, it is!
