The Mediterranean Diet, packed with whole grains and fish, is an easy way to boost your health.
September 26, 2024
The Mediterranean Diet has long been known to be one of the healthiest meal plans around and is as much a lifestyle as it is a diet. Mediterranean eating is based on components scientifically proven to reduce the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol: a diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, especially fish, plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, olive oil and a moderate amount of wine.
