Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating inspired by traditional food habits from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, like Italy and Greece. It emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and olive oil. Fish and poultry are preferred over red meat, and dairy is consumed in moderation, often as yogurt or cheese. This diet also includes moderate wine consumption and encourages enjoying meals with family and friends. It's known for promoting heart health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases, thanks to its focus on healthy fats and nutrient-rich foods.
