The Healthiest Way To Eat

The Mediterranean diet is considered one of the (if not the) healthiest diets on the planet. Geographically,  the Mediterranean is a region made up of the Mediterranean Sea and seven countries, either in part or whole. These countries include France, Portugal, Italy, and Spain in part and the entire countries of Greece, Malta, and Cyprus. All 7 of these countries are ranked within the top 31 countries where people live the longest. This basically shows that out of the 195 countries in the world, these seven Mediterranean countries are in the top 16% of where people live the longest and in fact 4 of them are in the top 8% (see rankings here).

For the most part, the climate of this region consists of hot, dry summers and quite humid and cool winters. In addition, the Mediterranean region is generally very hilly.

What Makes the MEDITERRANEAN DIET So Healthy?

Since the geography of the Mediterranean is so hilly, lots of nutrients are washed down the hills into the valleys and other areas at the bottom of the hills. These areas are often where fruits and vegetables are grown, therefore they are rich in healthy nutrients. Just as significant is the fact that the Mediterranean diet emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods. These foods consist mostly of plants and veggies, but also include fish and seafood, some dairy, fresh fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices. There is very little red meat or sugary items in the Mediterranean diet.
