The Mediterranean diet is a healthy eating plan based on the historic eating and social patterns of people living near the Mediterranean Sea, including those who reside in southern Italy, Greece, Turkey and Spain. It’s not even really a “diet” in the way we usually think of it, but more like a lifelong way of eating and living.

Considered by many nutrition experts to be one of the healthiest ways to eat, the base of the Mediterranean diet is loaded with anti-inflammatory foods and built upon plant-based ingredients and healthy fats.This diet emphasizes fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins like fish, whole grains, beans and healthy fats like olive oil (along with the occasional glass of wine).

Many studies have found that people following a Mediterranean-type diet are less likely to die of heart attacks, cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia and early death. It also seems to protect against depression, obesity,metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer.

The best part is, even with all of these benefits, it still provides the opportunity for people to “eat, drink and be merry.”
