MediterraneanDiet

Meaning

The Mediterranean Diet is a clinically recognized, plant-forward eating pattern characterized by a high intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and the use of olive oil as the primary source of added fat. This pattern involves moderate consumption of fish and poultry and a low intake of red meat and processed foods. This dietary template is scientifically linked to reduced systemic inflammation, improved lipid profiles, and enhanced metabolic health. Its rich composition provides essential micronutrients and bioactive compounds that support optimal hormonal signaling and cardiovascular function.
