Do you like olives?

They have the good fats, so they make great additions to healthy meals. Most of the fat in olives is the monounsaturated fat, which helps reduce inflammation. Now don’t get too excited, dirty martinis aren’t a free for all but adding a serving to a salad or a cheese-less pizza will help add flavor with some healthy fats!
