The Mediterranean Diet (Medi-diet) is more than just a way of life. It is a combination of consuming a range of high-quality fresh meals and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diet comes from the Greek term (díaita) that means "lifestyle", which indicates that numerous aspects of our lives are included, and it is not a "don't do it" diet.
It teaches us how to live our lives in the most enjoyable manner possible and how to approach the years ahead wisely and in good health.
After 50 years of research, it has been proved that the benefits range from lowering the risk of obesity and battling cardiovascular disease to relieving aging discomforts by the easy implementation of few fundamental rules.
In the simplest terms, following the Mediterranean diet can help you live a better life while improving your health.
