    Mediterranean Diet Cookbook - Julia Patel

    CHAPTER 1: WHY YOU NEED A MEDITERRANEAN DIET?

    The Mediterranean nutrition system is one of the most effective and safe systems to maintain good health and the perfect physical form every day.

    It is the excellent tool for creation of the balanced and various food allowance, which well influences all systems of a human body:

    Saturates cages with powerful antioxidants

    Reduces the risk of heart and vascular disease, diabetes, and oncology

    Stabilizes arterial blood pressure

    Reduces the level of bad cholesterol in the blood

    Prevents Alzheimer's disease and mental disorders

    Improves physical health and quality of life

    The conception of the Mediterranean diet provides consumption of fresh vegetables and fruit, cereals, olive oil, fish and seafood with a high content of Omega-3 and Omega-6 acids.

    The founder of the modern Mediterranean nutrition system with a high content of antioxidants, non-saturated acids, and cellulose is Dr. Ansel Keis.

    The correct nutrients ratio is the next:

    CARBOHYDRATES (fruit, vegetables, pasta, whole grain bread, porridges from cereals) – 55%

    FATS (natural oils) – 35%

    PROTEINS (red and white meat, bean, eggs, milk, fish, seafood, mushrooms) – 10%

    The daily balanced diet should include foods high in protein, cellulose, vitamin C and group B, minerals and phosphorus. These include:

    VEGETABLES – cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, squash, cabbage (all kinds), spinach, onions, eggplant (aubergine), radish, sweet pepper;

    FRUIT AND BERRIES – apples, pears, bananas, oranges, apricots, strawberries, grapes, figs, watermelon, peaches, melon, dates, cherries, plums, avocado, currant, fig, grape, kiwi, pineapple, raspberry, cowberry;
