I've heard that there are many benefits to eating a Mediterranean diet. What are they?
assistant
The Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts, fish, poultry, olive oil, and healthy fats like avocado and olives. It also includes moderate amounts of red wine, but no more than one glass per day for women and two glasses per day for men. Eating this way can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some cancers, and other chronic illnesses. Additionally, it has been shown to improve mental health, boost energy levels, and increase longevity.
