The cuisine known as the “Mediterranean Diet” has been called “The Healthiest Diet in the World”.

It has been popular in Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, southern Italy and nearby regions for centuries. The “Mediterranean Diet” is low in saturated fat and provides healthy mono-unsaturated fats from olive oil, fish and nuts. It features yogurt and smaller portions of meats and the heart healthy benefits of wine. The Diet is also high in fiber from whole grains, dried fruits and vegetables. In recent years many scientific studies have shown that people who follow this way of eating enjoy better health and longer lives than those who consume a western European style diet.

Scientific studies have shown that the Mediterranean Diet:

• helps prevent heart attacks and cardiovascular disease
• protects against breast cancer and prostate cancer
• helps prevent gallstones
• reduces high blood pressure and cholesterol
• significantly increases life span
