A man hypocritically started praising Imam Ali, though he had no faith in him and Imam Ali hearing these praises from him said I am less than what you tell about me but more than what you think about me.

Olives are very rich in antioxidants that may contribute to a variety of benefits, such as lower cholesterol and blood pressure. They may also reduce your risk of cancer and bone loss, but more research is necessary.

Olives are well tolerated by most people but may harbor high amounts of salt due to their packaging liquid.

While allergy to olive tree pollen is common, allergy to olives is rare.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: Knowledge and wisdom are really the privilege of a faithful Muslim. If you have lost them, get them back even though you may have to get them from the apostates.

This may be partly due to their high antioxidant and oleic acid contents. Observational and test-tube studies reveal that these compounds disrupt the life cycle of cancer cells in the breast, colon, and stomach.

However, long-term, controlled human studies are needed to confirm these results. At this point, it’s unclear whether eating olives or olive oil leads to lower cancer rates.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: Time wears out bodies, renews hopes, brings death nearer and takes away aspirations. Whoever gets anything from the world lives in anxiety for holding it and whoever loses anything passes his days grieving over the loss.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: The wiser a man is, the less talkative he will be.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: An ignorant person will always overdo a thing or neglect it totally.

In addition, observational studies suggest that following a Mediterranean diet may reduce the risk of bone fractures.

Olives and olive oil are commonly consumed in the Mediterranean region, where rates of cancer and other chronic diseases are lower than in other Western countries.

Thus, it’s possible that olives may help reduce your risk of cancer.

Imam Ali (PBUH) said: If you cannot get things as much as you desire than be contented with what you have.

Furthermore, some studies note that olives and olive oil may reduce blood pressure.

Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and bone quality. It can increase your risk of fractures.

The rates of osteoporosis are lower in Mediterranean countries than in the rest of Europe, leading to speculation that olives might protect against this condition.

One older 2009 study showed that eating a pulpy residue from olives significantly increased blood levels of glutathione, one of the most powerful antioxidants in your body.

High blood cholesterol and blood pressure are both risk factors for heart disease.

Oleic acid, the main fatty acid in olives, is associated with improved heart health. It may regulate cholesterol levels and protect LDL (bad) cholesterol from oxidation, though some experts say more evidence is needed.
