Eight. Consecutive. Years. – Sea fuodies!
Here is how long the Mediterranean diet has reigned supreme as the best general diet according to the news and the world of the world of the United States. No flash-in-pan or fad trend with celebrity: this is the real deal, the test of the time standing!
Fortunately, May is not just bringing us spring flowers and longer days: it is also a month of international Mediterranean diet and we are immersing the fork in this celebration of a delicious delicacy oil oil oil. Not for a meal, not for a week, but everything. MONTH. LONG!
Between the end of school chaos, the summer plans and the daily juggling act that we call life, who has time for a complicated preparation of meals? Not us! This is exactly the reason why we made this month’s Mediterranean meal plan as a solution for saving common sense. No foam technique or ingredients impossible to pronounce here: these are satisfactory dishes that will all have at your table asking a few seconds, if they can identify the Mediterranean Sea on a map or not.
Before starting, let’s do a straight thing. The real diet of the Mediterranean is not a rigid regulation with “permitted” and “prohibited” lists. It is the centuries -old approach of coastal countries (coming from Italy, Greece and Spain in Lebanon in France and Turkey) where people gather around tables loaded with freshly captured fish, products and locally grown conversations that flow freely as the olive oil. The meals have been enjoyed slowly and in good company, the movement has integrated in a natural way and the radical idea that food should actually have a good flavor despite being good for you.
This is an easy diet that we can dig!
And while we are here for the flavor, the health benefits are frankly too impressive to be ignored, especially for women !! The research shows women who follow the Mediterranean food models that cut the risk of heart disease of a huge 25%. Those Omega-3 are not just watchwords: they are important to improve cholesterol, turn on the brain function and protect from chronic conditions such as diabetes and some tumors. Not bad for something that tastes like a holiday on a dish.
It is not surprising the Dietary guidelines for Americans—The also recommend eating from two to three portions of seafood per week: rewards the Mediterranean diet as one of the favorite food options for optimal health.
