Health benefits of the Mediterranean diet

Heart Health

The diet's emphasis on olive oil, fish, nuts, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables can help reduce the risk of heart disease. The healthy fats in the diet, particularly monounsaturated fats from olive oil, are believed to contribute to cardiovascular health.

Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases

The Mediterranean diet is linked to a lower risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Weight Management

The diet's focus on whole, nutrient-rich foods and portion control can aid in weight management and weight loss.

Improved Brain Health

The consumption of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, along with antioxidant-rich foods like fruits and vegetables, is associated with better cognitive function and a lower risk of cognitive decline.
