Last couple of weeks I been eating olives. I like them but have not had any recently for some reason.
I decided that I should see if they are good for you so did a search of the Internet.
“Olives are one of the oldest foods known to man, dating back some 8,000 years in the Mediterranean region. The olive tree was valued as a symbol of peace and happiness, while olives were used as food and a source of oil.
Olive soup is a good remedy for a sore throat, according to traditional Chinese medicine (it's also the only time olives are used in Chinese cuisine).
Today everyone knows how good olive oil is for health, but the humble olive is often passed up (often because they've unfairly gotten a bad rap for being high in fat). However, olives are actually a very healthy fruit, one that's been lending superb nutrition to mankind for centuries. So there's no need to pass up that tempting olive bar at the market any longer -- olives are good for you!…” SixWise.Com
Sounds good to me. I am going to keep them around. Having them here will keep me from eating something else that is bad for me. (Like last night I ate half a bag of cookies and this morning after breakfast I had the other half of the bag of cookies. )
I am at 222.4 pounds right now.
