It seems like lately, everyone is talking about the Mediterranean diet. But this time-tested way of eating is nothing new—in fact, it’s been around for thousands of years.

‍

The Mediterranean diet, inspired by the eating habits of those around the Mediterranean Sea, focuses on whole foods like fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fish, and seafood, with moderation in poultry, eggs, and dairy. It promotes healthy fats, particularly olive oil, while limiting red meat and processed foods, prioritizing fresh and seasonal ingredients.

‍

The health benefits associated with the diet are pretty impressive; it’s linked to a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers, as well as improved brain health.
