I've heard that there are many benefits to eating a Mediterranean diet. What are they?

The Mediterranean Diet has been linked to improved heart health, lower blood pressure, and reduced risk of diabetes. It also includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds, as well as lean proteins like fish, poultry, and legumes. Olive oil is the primary source of fat in this diet, which provides monounsaturated fats that may help reduce bad cholesterol levels. Eating moderate amounts of red wine can also be part of the Mediterranean Diet plan.
