      The Complete Mediterranean Diet Cookbook - Gretchen Ramos

      Conclusion

      Introduction

      C

      ountries bordering the Mediterranean have built up a solid reputation for sunshine great tasting food, as well as impressive health statistics featuring some of the lowest rates of heart disease and increased life expectancy in the Western world. This has created a lot of attention towards the Mediterranean diet which is not a typical weight loss diet, but more of a set of habits inspired by the traditional eating habits of people living in the Mediterranean.

      A research was carried out on the island of Crete which is often considered to be the heart of the Mediterranean diet. A lot of the islands are where the healthiest people in the world live. And what they found on this particular island at the time in the 1950s, the men lived to be the same age as the women and they only could find one man on the entire island who had any kind of heart disease in a 10-year period. So the reason those people were living so long is because they weren't dying of all the diseases that most of us die from, they were dying from old age. And a lot of it has to do with the food.

      There's now been thousands of studies done on the Mediterranean, the diet itself has been shown to help benefit with almost everything, from the top of your head to your toes. So anything from Alzheimer's, dementia, eye health, skin health, asthma, of course lung disease, cancer, diabetes heart disease, and obesity. All of these things have been shown to be helped by the Mediterranean diet.

      How Does The Mediterranean Diet Work

      The Mediterranean diet consists of fresh whole foods rather than processed or refined foods. Here you won't find many ready meals, but freshly prepared pastas, breads, seasonal produce, and home-cooked meals. Higher quantities of vegetables, legumes and fruits these usually accompany most meals and provide good sources of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

      It contains higher quantities of healthy oils. From olive oil to nuts olive oil is frequently used in dishes instead of butter or other vegetable oils. Fish and seafood often at least twice a week, these provide a good source of omega-3 fats which have been associated with keeping a healthy heart.

      The Mediterranean is also associated to a less sedentary lifestyle with an emphasis on healthy habits and more physical activity. The Mediterranean diet features an emphasis on whole nutritionally dense foods, a balanced yet moderate approach to different food groups as well as a healthy active lifestyle. In general olive oil is a big proponent of this diet, which makes the Mediterranean diet higher in monosaccharide and lowers in saturated fats, which helps lower bad cholesterol, LDL, and maintains good cholesterol, and HDL.

      The Mediterranean diet is currently considered one of the healthiest diets around due to many studies linking it to lower rates of cardiovascular disease, increased life expectancy, and protection from diabetes, lower rates of cancer, and healthy weight loss. The Mediterranean diet is a great starting point as it emphasizes healthy eating habits which have been tried and tested for centuries with great results.

      Some of the core fundamentals used in the Mediterranean diet which includes a focus on nutritionally dense Whole Foods, packed with vitamins and minerals, fiber rich vegetables and legumes to keep you satisfied, healthy omega-3 fats for a healthy heart, lean animal proteins from fish, seafood, and poultry. It focuses on food being a source of pleasure rather than pain.

      The Mediterranean diet provides additional benefits by incorporating further improvements and packaging these into a diet plan tailored to your diet goal. These include helping you find the right macronutrient mix so you can lose weight, naturally tailoring food portions and calorie counts to promote healthy weight loss, optimizing glycemic responsive meals to promote fat burn rather than fat storage designing meals that help lower sodium intake which has been found to help lower blood pressure and
