The Mediterranean Diet―Defined

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including France, Spain, Greece, and Italy. Research has long suggested that people living in these regions tend to have a lower risk of the many chronic conditions that afflict Americans, especially at 60 and beyond.

The Mediterranean tradition offers a cuisine rich in colors, aromas, flavors, and memories, which support the taste and the spirit of those who live in harmony with nature.

Eating this way can help you feel better on every level in the short term while reducing chronic, systemic inflammation, which is a is a root cause or of  many serious issues, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and depression.

For this reason, the Mediterranean diet is a valuable and time-honored option for those looking to improve their health and protect against chronic disease.
