Olives contain oleic acid (omega-3 essential fatty acid) which studies have shown helps regulate the balance between HDL (high-density lipo-protein, also called "good" cholesterol) and LDL ("bad" cholesterol) in the blood.
Olive oil can also be used directly on the skin as moisturiser.
Black olives are easier to digest and have a higher vitamin and antioxidant content than green olives.
