Mediterranean diet is a nutritional model inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of the countries of the Mediterranean basin, particularly Greece, Spain and Italy.
The Mediterranean Diet has long been touted as the world’s healthiest eating regimen. According to a research, people who eat a so-called Mediterranean diet are as much as 70 percent less likely to suffer a second heart attack than those who follow a typical “Western” diet.
Overall, people following the Mediterranean diet most closely were 25% less likely to die.
