Mediterranean Diet Resources

The Mediterranean diet is inspired by the eating habits of people who live near the Mediterranean Sea and includes lots of healthy foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, seafood, beans, and nuts. When initially formulated in the 1960s, it drew on the cuisines of Greece, Italy, France and Spain.

The Mediterranean diet has been said to be effective in helping to ward off cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, stroke, and even premature death.
