Inspired by the traditional eating patterns of people from Greece, Italy, and Spain, the Mediterranean diet can seemingly do no wrong.
In a nutshell, the diet is rich in plants and olive oil but low in meat and sugary products.
Over the years, studies have concluded that this eating pattern lowers the risk of various health issues, including coronary heart disease and stroke.
Studies have even concluded that the Mediterranean diet might extend lifespan in older adults as well as reduce the risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
