| The Mediterranean Diet |
| The Mediterranean Diet is a healthy and well balanced diet. It originated along the coastal regions of the Mediterranean Sea and was inspired by its inhabitants. People living along these regions, using the Mediterranean food pyramid, continue to benefit from the abundance and fruitful bounty of the land which we in return want to pass on to you. Their key dietary habits, along with an active lifestyle, have been identified as a vital part of the area's lower rates of chronic diseases and have been attributed to their longevity. The Mediterranean Diet is rich in many antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that have been scientifically proven to help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, cancers, stroke, cholesterol and diabetes. |  ©2000 Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust |

The cuisine of the Mediterranean Diet encompasses fresh harvested vegetables, fruits, beans, legumes, grains, nuts, pasta, fish and lean meats and uses heart healthy olive oil as its main source of fat. The Mediterranean Diet is a long term healer. This is why it is a successful method of shifting people from being in a high risk profile to a low risk profile for chronic diseases. This diet is the cornerstone to preventative health. The end result is a longer and better quality of life! | |
