Many Benefits from a Mediterranean-type Diet

The Mediterranean dietary pattern is one high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds; low in red and processed meat; and moderate in olive oil, eggs, poultry and fish. A meta-analysis of 22 studies examining this dietary pattern found high adherence was associated with a reduction in risk of stroke (29% lower), depression (32% lower) and cognitive impairment (40% lower).

PositiveTip: Increase the fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds in your diet to enjoy better health for longer.
