The Mediterranean Diet: Delicious and Healthy
What makes this diet good for your heart and taste buds?
The Mediterranean diet isn’t just about eating well—it’s about living well.
This largely plant-based diet focuses on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and healthy fats, especially olive oil. Seafood and lean proteins are also key, along with moderate portions of dairy and wine.
Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats, this diet has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and even Alzheimer's.
Popular in countries like Croatia, Italy, Greece, Spain, and even Portugal, the Mediterranean diet was recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, celebrating its role in promoting health and cultural traditions.
