Why the Mediterranean Diet is at the Top

It’s no surprise that we are excited to see the Mediterranean Diet at the top of the list. We are strong believers in this healthy way of life for many reasons, including the following –

  • There isn’t a list of what to eat, what not to eat because it’s not a restrictive diet where certain foods are forbidden
  • The focus is on what to add to your diet instead of what to remove
  • The recipes are full of fresh, flavorful ingredients that are good for your health but also taste great as well
  • It’s meant to fit into your lifestyle and work for you. It’s very adaptable (since there are no set rules) and can work no matter if you are eating alone, with your family, on the go, etc
  • The focus is on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes – all of which can lead to greater heart health, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar management.
  • There are not any gimmicks, products, supplements that you need to waste money on. Just real ingredients and real food.
