Mediterranean Food
The Mediterranean Diet is a heart-healthy eating plan combining elements of Mediterranean-style cooking.
The Mediterranean Diet incorporates the basics of healthy eating – plus a splash of flavorful olive oil and perhaps a glass of wine - among other components characterizing the traditional cooking style of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
“Research has shown that the traditional Mediterranean Diet reduces the risk of heart disease. In fact, a recent analysis of more than 1.5 million healthy adults demonstrated that following a Mediterranean diet was associated with a reduced risk of overall cardiovascular mortality, a reduced incidence of cancer and cancer mortality, and a reduce incidence of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. For this reason, most if not all scientific organizations encourage healthy adults to adapt a style of eating like that of the Mediterranean Diet for prevention of major chronic diseases.” - Mayo Clinic
