An Overview of the Mediterranean Diet
The nations around the Mediterranean Sea gave rise to the Mediterranean Diet, a dietary pattern that has been practiced for centuries. This eating style emphasizes plant-based foods, good fats, and a modest amount of dairy, seafood, and fowl. It is created to encourage good health while still being fun and satisfying and is based on the traditional cuisines of nations like Greece, Italy, and Spain. The five main dietary groups that make up the Mediterranean Diet are vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and healthy fats. These meals are high in vitamins, minerals, and other healthy ingredients while being low in saturated fat. The Mediterranean diet also contains small amounts of fish and poultry, as well as a moderate amount of dairy products. A lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and several malignancies are just a few of the health advantages of the Mediterranean diet.
