Description
Thinking about Mediterranean food, you may think about Italian pizzas and pasta, or Greek lamb chops, but these dishes do not fit into the healthy dietary plans known as "Mediterranean." A true Mediterranean diet is based on traditional local fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seafood, olive oil, and milk with a glass or two of red wine. This is how the inhabitants of Crete, Greece and Southern Italy ate around 1960, when their rates of chronic disease were among the lowest in the world, and their life expectancy was among the highest, despite having limited medical services.
And the real Mediterranean diet is more than just eating fresh, wholesome food. Daily physical activity and sharing food with others are key elements of the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid. Together, they can have a profound effect on your mood and mental health and help to foster a deep appreciation of the pleasures of eating healthy and delicious food.
Of course, making changes to your diet is rarely easy, especially if you're trying to get away from the convenience of processed foods. But the Mediterranean diet can be both an inexpensive and a satisfying and very healthy way to eat. Switching from pepperoni and pasta to fish and avocados may take some effort, but you could soon be on the path to a healthier and longer life.
