      Mediterranean Diet For Beginners - Samantha Keating

      Pudding

      INTRODUCTION

      The Mediterranean Diet is not one of the new diet fads that comes and goes. It is a way of eating and a lifestyle that people who lived around the Mediterranean Sea have followed for thousands of years. These include countries in southern Europe and northern Africa. People in these countries have cuisines with a lot of similarities but with variations according to the food that naturally occurs in each particular country. It is not really a diet because there are no real dietary restrictions but rather an adaptation of the traditional eating style of the people living around the Mediterranean Sea. They eat a lot of high quality foods that provide all the support needed by their body for health and longevity.

      A rising number of people outside these regions are adopting a Mediterranean-style diet because of the various benefits that it has been shown to provide. Researchers observed that people who live in these regions have very low rates of heart disease and live longer than people in countries where western food is eaten. Basically, you will start eating foods that are common in the Mediterranean area. Get ready to eat a lot of seafood, fish, poultry and less of red meat or processed meat products. Colorful vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, seafood and low fat dairy will form a large part of your daily meals.

      Benefits Of The Mediterranean Diet

      Interest is growing in the Mediterranean diet due to the health benefits associated with it. The benefits of the natural eating style of the Mediterranean diet include:

      1. Better Heart Health

      As earlier stated, researchers found out that people living in areas where the Mediterranean diet is eaten traditionally have better heart health. They have lower bad cholesterol levels and healthier circulatory systems. This was attributed to the lower consumption of processed sugars, red meat or other processed foods and the eating of a greater amount of vegetables, whole grains and seafood.

      2. Slows Down Neurological Decline

      Naturally, our bodies decline in several ways as we grow older. This decline can be accelerated or slowed down according to our lifestyles and the type of food we eat. The Mediterranean diet consists of a lot of anti-inflammatory foods that help to slow down degeneration of cells in the body, the brain and the nervous system. By slowing down neurological decline, normal mental function and quality of life can be maintained longer into old age. The risk of diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's and stroke are greatly reduced.

      3. Higher Levels Of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

      Following the Mediterranean diet can lead to a reduction in the risk factors of conditions like arthritis, dementia, depression, heart disease and some cancers. The greater amount of fish and seafood consumed results in higher levels of omega-3 which produces pro-health conditions in the body.

      4. Healthy Weight Loss

      The Mediterranean diet helps you to maintain a healthy body weight because it is devoid of fattening foods. If you are overweight, it will also help you to lose weight naturally over time. It makes it easy to lose weight without the burden of following a diet. The meals are rich in fiber and will help you to stay full longer and you will find it easier to resist unhealthy snacks.

      5. Reduced Risk Of Diabetes

      The very nature of the Mediterranean diet fortifies the body against the occurrence of type 2 diabetes. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables provide natural sugar and fiber and this reduces the likelihood of high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance. Even people who are already diagnosed with diabetes will benefit greatly by switching to the Mediterranean diet.

      6. Reduction Of Stress Related Conditions

      Recent research as shown that you may also enjoy a reduction of stress levels when you adopt the Mediterranean diet. This is greatly beneficial to people prone to depression and anxiety,

      7. Longevity

      The average lifespan of people in the Mediterranean regions is higher than those in Western nations. This difference has been attributed to the foods that they eat. The Mediterranean Diet provides a combination of foods that contribute to improved health and well being which subsequently results in a longer life.

      Mediterranean Diet Foods To Eat
