We’ve all heard of it. The “Mediterranean diet. But what exactly is it?
The Mediterranean diet is based on eating habits of people who surround theMediterranean Sea, in countries like Greece, Lebanon, Israel, Italy, and Spain.
At its core, the Mediterranean diet encourages fresh, whole, seasonal foods that focus heavily on plant-based food options, healthy oils (olive oil), moderate amounts of fish and poultry, and minimal dairy and red/processed meats. The health benefits from these patterns of eating are supported by significant numbers of studies and scientific reports.
