Mediterranean diet

The Mediterranean diet is a popular diet known to be healthy for the body. The Mediterranean diet plan is high in fruits and vegetables (often as many as nine servings per day). Followers of this diet also consume a low amount of red meat, eating instead a greater portion of fish several times a week. The Mediterranean diet menu also includes eating a small portion of a variety of nuts and healthy fats (like olive oil or canola oil).

Red wine is also a part of this diet menu, in moderate amounts. Because grains in this region are usually whole grains, pasta and rice are also a welcome part of this diet.The Mediterranean diet is associated with good heart health and falls within the guidelines of healthy eating, Studies conducted within the U.S. have shown that those who ate according to the Mediterranean diet lowered their risk of both heart disease and obesity-related cancers.

The Mediterranean food pyramid is a slightly different version of the FDA's food pyramid. The bottom level you have you'r whole grains like bread, pasta, followed by vegetables, fruits, beans and nuts. The third level up is olive oil (or another healthy oil), followed by a cheese and yogurt level, a fish and poultry level, a sweets level and finally, a red meat level at the very top. But red meat should only be eaten a few times per month in very small amounts.
