The Mediterranean Diet

A Mediterranean diet can aid in the prevention of heart disease, some malignancies, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Here's how to make the change.

What exactly is a "Mediterranean diet?"

When you think of Mediterranean food, you might think of pizza and spaghetti from Italy or lamb chops from Greece, but these dishes do not fall into the healthy dietary programs marketed as "Mediterranean." The proper Mediterranean diet consists of the region's traditional fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seafood, olive oil, and dairy, along with the occasional glass of red wine. That's how the people of Crete, Greece, and southern Italy ate around 1960, when their chronic disease rates were among the lowest in the world and their life expectancy was among the highest, despite having very limited medical services.

And the true The Mediterranean diet entails more than just eating fresh, nutritious foods. Physical activity on a daily basis and sharing meals with others are essential. They can have a significant impact on your mood and mental health, as well as help you develop a deep appreciation for the delights of eating nutritious and delicious foods.
