Beschreibung zu „Mediterranean Diet“
The Mediterranean diet is a style of cooking that can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. It's based on eating things like fruits, vegetables, nuts, breads, legumes and herbs. The Mediterranean diet is not a diet per se, but rather a lifestyle. It's all about making the best possible food choices for your health and your family's health. The diet is known to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
The dishes are traditionally cooked with olive oil (the secret to longevity) and not too much red meat or processed food. An average person in Greece eats 3-4 pounds of bread a day (which is the equivalent of 2 slices for Americans).
The Mediterranean diet offers an endless array of balanced, nutritious, and delectable foods. There is, however, a greater focus on some types of foods, though nothing is excluded. People who follow a Mediterranean diet will eat their favorite foods while learning to understand how delicious the freshest, healthiest foods can be.
There has been various analysis and study into the traditional Mediterranean diet, stemming from the observation by many scientists that people in Mediterranean countries appeared to be healthier and live longer than people in other parts of the world, especially the United States. Ancel Keys, an American scientist, compared the health of people in deprived areas of Italy to that of the richest New Yorkers in the 1950s and discovered that the first were in significantly better health.
