5. Olives And Olive Oil

Love olives? Most people do! Adding just 10 large olives to your next salad will give you a healthy five grams of fat, 3.5 grams of which are the healthy monounsaturated type, and .4 of which are the healthy polyunsaturated kind. You can’t go wrong with olives because in addition to being a great source of healthy fat, these fermented treats are loaded with probiotics, which are really healthy for your digestive system and your immune system.

However, if you are not a fan of olives, there is always olive oil. Olives and extra virgin olive oil are essential parts of the healthy Mediterranean diet. Olive oil is loaded with powerful antioxidants known to fight inflammation, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease — just to name a few. Always buy extra virgin olive oil for maximum health benefits.
