Mediterranean Diet for Beginners

Rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and heart-healthy fats, the Mediterranean diet is both delicious and nutritious. It may help manage your weight, protect your heart, and prevent diabetes.
What is the Mediterranean diet?
The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including France, Spain, Greece, and Italy.
Some research has suggested that people living in these regions tend to be healthier and have a lower risk of many chronic conditions, compared with people who follow a standard American diet.
It typically encourages people to:
consume more:
fruits
vegetables
whole grains
legumes
nuts and seeds
heart-healthy fats
consume less:
processed foods
added sugars
refined grains
limit alcohol consumption
Research has indicated that the Mediterranean diet can:
-promote weight loss
-help prevent heart attacks, stroke, and type 2 diabetes
-reduce the risk of premature death
For this reason, the Mediterranean diet is a suitable option for those looking to improve their health and protect against chronic disease.

I love these evidence based presentations. There is so much nutritional misinformation that percolates on social media, this is well needed.

Looking forward to my journey with the Mediterranean diet for beginners, as I strive to become more knowledgeable about this lifestyle. Various dishes & instructions will be very appreciated.

I really like your videos and how balanced they are in regard to diet. I eat a diet chock full of fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, meats, and some dairy. I doubt I’ll ever have a flat stomach on account of genetics, but I feel way better day by day that I did prior to starting eating this way 3+ yrs ago. And I believe alcohol mostly does harm not good, because the liver has a very difficult time processing even small quantities.

Fake bleached, (enriched ) and brominated white or brown bread is against the law in other western countries.

You can make it at home with pasta noodles and baking soda!

Another factor why Americans are not healthy is our stress level. Europeans enjoy life. Spend more time with their families and take naps during the day.
