Do you want to lose weight while still enjoying your favorite foods?
The Mediterranean diet is a powerful tool to transform your health and rabidly change your palate, and there's never been a better time to try something new.
The diet has been in the works for over 2,000 years to reach its current and most perfect form for you! There are more options than ever, and the health benefits are still being elucidated, but they include things like:
- Reduce the severity of obesity.
- Better control over heart disease - lowering bad cholesterol and dropping blood pressure.
- Eliminate metabolic syndrome, effectively eliminating diabetes before it starts
- Cancer prevention
How does this work? You ask in amazed wonder. I reply - "A diet high in polyphenols, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant found in foods such as olive oil, fish, and vegetables, all of which are present in high numbers in this diet!" Which receives an eye of curiosity for the uncalled information dump.
The point is the diet is very rich in certain foods very high in antioxidants, healthy fats, and fiber, all of which are thoroughly lacking in modern-day Western diets.
There are a trio and its two hangers on to thanks for this, which have been espoused by writers and historical figure for their vitality-giving powers.
They are the olive, the grape, and wheat. Olive oil, wine, and bread. And then the two hangers-on are the primary protein; fish, high in omega-3s, and the richness of vegetables, present in almost every meal no matter the occasion.
All research corroborates that this is food the body thrives on. You grumble, in your modern incarnation, recalling your past life as a degenerate Athenian, maybe that Hippocrates ingrate was on to something.
