Author Description

Would you like to be able to eat a good food, with almost no constraints? This is THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET! The mediterranean diet is based on the diets of people from Crete, Greece, and Southern Italy, from the sixties. The mediterranean diet has become popular because individuals show low rate of heart disease, chronic disease, and obesity. The mediterranean diet encourages the consumption of fresh, seasonal and local foods, such as whole grains, good fats (fish, olive oil, nuts etc.), vegetables, fruits, fish, and very low consumption of any non-fish meat. In fact, the mediterranean diet is more a lifestyle than a simple diet as it emphasizes the need to spend time eating with family and physical activity. Also, there is no single mediterranean diet, but a general food-based eating pattern, with local and cultural differences among the countries in the region. The mediterranean diet has certain health benefits, supported by scientific evidence, including a lower risk of cancer, cognitive disease and cardiovascular disease as well as metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. So, what are you waiting for? This book offers you tasty and easy to cook recipes, for a tasteful and healthy life.
