Publisher's Synopsis
Are you tired of eating the same old meals day in and day out? Do you want to lose weight and get a healthier lifestyle?
Try the Mediterranean diet.
The Mediterranean diet is linked to a decreased risk of cancer. It may help prevent invasive breast cancer for women who consume at least three servings of vegetables per day. More research needs to be done in this area; however, some small studies suggest that there may be an increased risk of prostate cancer if red meat is consumed frequently. It may even help prevent lung cancer in people who consume fish or seafood more than once a week compared with those who eat it less often.
The Mediterranean diet may help relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet can help improve overall symptoms of arthritis in addition to improvement in a few physical measurements such as body weight, BMI, waist circumference and hip circumference.
The Mediterranean diet may be effective for treating premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms; however, further studies need to be done before a conclusion can be made.

It may, however, decrease the risk of pregnancy complications such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and gestational diabetes. Further research needs to be done before a conclusion can be made about this relationship.
