the healthiest and tastiest diet lifestyles around. Many studies
have shown that people that have eaten a Mediterranean diet
their entire life have a lower risk for stroke and heart disease
and also have a lower incidence of obesity. It is very easy for
most to switch to the Mediterranean diet because for most
Americans the food is tasteful and attractive.
What is the Mediterranean diet? The Mediterranean diet is the
staple foods most associated with the people of Greece and the
surrounding area. These foods include olives, olive oil, light
meats, fish, fruits such as dates and vegetables. Add in a glass
or two of wine during dinner and you can see why this diet is
extremely attractive.
A major plus to this diet is the use of monosaturated oils such
as olive oil. Many people in America use polysaturated oils and
margarines which can have
the affect of raising your cholesterol
level. Monosaturated oils like Olive oil actually raise only the
good cholesterol. Good cholesterol has been shown to lower heart
disease. A glass or two of wine has also been show to lower the
risk of heart disease. Wine also includes antioxidants which can
rejuvenate the body. Fish has been also been shown to be great
for the body with healthy antioxidants such as Omega 3.
