The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional eating habits and culinary practices of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece, Italy, and Spain. It emphasizes the consumption of whole, minimally processed foods including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Olive oil serves as the primary source of added fat, replacing butter and other less healthy fats. The diet includes moderate amounts of fish and seafood, which provide essential omega-3 fatty acids, as well as moderate consumption of dairy products, particularly cheese and yogurt. Poultry and eggs are eaten in smaller quantities, while red meat is consumed only occasionally. The Mediterranean diet also encourages the enjoyment of meals with family and friends, regular physical activity, and a balanced approach to eating that includes savoring food and drinking wine in moderation with meals. This dietary pattern is renowned for its association with improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and overall longevity.
