Data from just over 25,000 women who were observed for 25 years showed that those whose eating habits matched the Mediterranean diet had a quarter lower risk of dying from any cause during the study period compared to those who did not.
According to the researchers, maintaining a Mediterranean diet can lead to a reduction in the risk of death by about 25% over 25 years. This reduces the risk of both cancer and cardiovascular deaths, the leading causes of death for women and men in the U.S. and around the world. The Mediterranean diet is based primarily on nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, with olive oil as the main source of fat. Protein can come from small amounts of fish, poultry, dairy, and eggs. Red meat, processed foods, and alcohol are kept to a minimum.
The Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest, and you can follow it using foods that are available in grocery stores. A qualified MD, dietician and author of the book “Everyday Mediterranean Cooking: Simple, Inspiring Recipes for Delicious Meals” Sheela Prakash shares a list of foods she uses every day to prepare healthy meals.
