The Mediterranean diet is defined as a modern nutritional recommendation inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of poor coastal regions of southern Italy, Crete, and coastal Greece in the 1960s. It includes:
- abundant plant foods,
- fresh fruit as the typical daily dessert,
- olive oil as the principal source of fat,
- dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt),
- fish and poultry consumed in low to moderate amounts,
- zero to four eggs consumed weekly,
- red meat consumed in low amounts, and
- wine consumed in low to moderate amounts
Now we know that this nutritional therapy can be good for preventing:
- Alzheimer’s Disease. The Mediterranean diet can help prevent brain damage linked to memory loss and strokes
- This diet is also said to prevent stomach cancer
- Added to this, the Mediterranean diet also can be an anti depressant since it improves the working of blood vessels, reduces the oxidative damage and decreases inflammation
