The Benefits of a Healthier Diet

Here are a few qualities of a healthy eating...

The inhabitants of the countries around the Mediterranean rely on a quality of life and expectations as for health and longevity, better than in many other countries. The reason we will find in the so called Mediterranean diet.

It consists of a way of life based on a balanced and varied diet where you can find the food (basically the wheat, the olive oil and the wine) obtained of the traditional cultures of this geographic area bathed by the sun and the Mediterranean Sea.

What kind of food constitutes the base of this diet?

1. Bread and pasta are the principal sources of carbohydrates.

2. Olive oil is the principal source of fat.

3. Wine in moderated quantities, served during the meals.

4. Vegetables, fresh fruits and dried fruits contribute to this diet great quantity of fibres and antioxidants.

5. Fish, poultry, dairy products and eggs like principal source of proteins and a minor consumption of meats and animal fats.

So, if you want to follow the healthy Mediterranean diet, you should eat a lot of fresh vegetables, bread and cereals every day, have fresh fruits for dessert, use olive oil for cooking and in your salads, eat fish three or four times a week, eat chicken instead of red meats, use garlic, onions, aromatic herbs, lemon and vinegar to flavour your food instead of too much salt. And – the most important – drink at least two litres of plain water every day.

This food and its culinary treatment give place to a way of life that complements itself with a few good habits thanks to the climate, like the walks in the sun or the “siesta”.
