Mediterranean Diet

      The Mediterranean Diet plan is a good diet to select if you enjoy eating out.  

This plan is a result of a healthy way of life enjoyed by people in the Mediterranean Sea countries. 

A benefit of this plan is that it can protect your heart with essential fatty acids and antioxidants. 

Olive oil and canola oil are encouraged. 

     Some incidences of cancer have been decreased by people on this diet. 

With a decreased risk for heart problems and even an occasional wine, this can be an enjoyable diet.

     Fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, olive oil and occasional whole grains make this a favorite of many people.  

     With a decrease in meat and dairy products, fat is reduced.

 Honey is the principal sweetner.
