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

The main benefit of the Mediterranean diet is its emphasis on whole, unprocessed foods. This type of diet typically includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats like olive oil and avocado. Additionally, it often includes fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, and red wine in moderation. Eating this way has been linked to improved heart health, better weight management, and lower risk of certain diseases such as diabetes and cancer.
