Does your diet leave you feeling restricted and confined? Escape this stressful lifestyle with the Mediterranean Diet.
The Mediterranean Diet offers a complete guide to the Mediterranean lifestyle, which emphasizes a healthful living through delicious, fresh foods prepared with the purpose of health in mind
The Mediterranean Diet is more than just a “diet,” it is a healthy way of life that emphasizes fresh, whole foods, and moderate amounts of dairy foods and healthy fats. Different from a vegetarian or vegan diet, the Mediterranean Diet does not restrict meat completely but rather reduces the amount that is consumed on average. Even though red meat is virtually eliminated, lean cuts of chicken are part of many of the best recipes included in the plan.
The Mediterranean Diet is a way of eating based on the traditional foods (and drinks) of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Diet is not a diet, as in “go on a diet,” even though it is a great way to lose weight or improve your health. Rather, it is a lifestyle – including foods, activities, meals with friends and family, and wine in moderation with meals. It has been studied and noted by scores of leading scientists as one of the healthiest in the world. Just as important, the Mediterranean Diet is full of wonderfully delicious, flavor-filled dishes and meals. It’s easy to understand what it is by thinking about Mediterranean dishes or “plates.”
The Mediterranean diet has been associated with good health, including a healthier heart. A 2013 study found that people following a Mediterranean diet had a 30% lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
It is not just a fad diet that you will be miserable on and quitting after two weeks. This is a chance to make a real change in your entire life, a way of eating and living that can be yours for the rest of your life. And with the improved health that you will have from following this type of plan, it will be a long and happy life.
