Olives is a good supplement 3-4 olives almost every day periodic. 

 

Same for vitamin d and fish oil

All naturally fermented foods (miso, poi, sourdough, tempeh, thua nao, ugba, yoghurt, etc) are good or you (assuming no contamination by bad bacteria (e.g. Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.).  They supply post-biotic chemicals which your body absorbs, & send lots of signals to your brain (via vagus nerve) which affects your physical & mental health.  So naturally fermented Olives are good!

Yes, I think olives are healthy. Maybe the sodium is an issue? But with small amounts of olives, maybe not?

 

And since it's hard to know if an olive oil has been tainted / watered down with seed oils, I stopped consuming olive oil and only consume olives now.

Olives contain 11–15% fat, 74% percent of which is oleic acid, a type of monounsaturated fatty acid. It is the main component of olive oil. Oleic acid is linked to several health benefits, including decreased inflammation and a reduced risk of heart disease. It may even help fight cancer.

 

Olives are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, some of which are added during processing. 

• Vitamin E. High-fat plant foods usually contain high amounts of this powerful antioxidant.
• Iron. Black olives are a good source of iron, which is important for your red blood cells to transport oxygen 
• Copper. This essential mineral is often lacking in the typical Western diet. Copper deficiency may increase your risk of heart disease 
• Calcium. The most abundant mineral in your body, calcium is essential for bone, muscle, and nerve function. Some methods of olive processing add calcium to the fruit (11).
• Sodium. Most olives contain high amounts of sodium since they’re packaged in brine or saltwater.

Thanks for the reminder. I haven't bought olives in a couple of weeks.

Agreed.  And tapenade (olive spread) is wonderful.  I prefer Kalamata olives

I forgot to mention vinegar - it has acetic acid which is very good in the gut & impacts kidney stone formation (reduces it).  Naturally fermented is easy to make.

Everything with care and not to much, and also know vinegear can interact with some medication

Yes, everything in moderation.

 For anyone interested, Dr. William Li, a noted Harvard trained heart specialist and food researcher, wrote two best sellers on the value of different foods readily available in Thailand too.  His books tell on what foods are good for different reasons, some to prevent disease, some to control the disease and some to even cure the disease.  His research have provided proof that one's diet is in most causes disease and poor health and therefore how changes can provide one with good health.  The two books are available in Bangkok as I purchased both and have read them and use them regularly as I alter my eating habits.  As he touts the value of different foods, he also provides how the testing was done and where it occurred.  Olives and Extra Virgin Olive Oil are mentioned many times in the books.   We are lucky to be in Thailand as so many healthy fruits and other foods are readily available at rather cheap prices compared to many countries.  Best of health to all.

Olive brine is an essential ingredient in Dirty Martini. A small amount of olive brine, plenty of gin, stir it with some ice cubes and add a few olives.

Life's healthy goodness.... yummy.
