A Mediterranean diet incorporates the traditional healthy living habits of people from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including Italy, France, Greece and Spain.
Mediterranean cuisine varies by region and has a range of definitions, but is largely based on vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, cereal grains, olive oil and fish.
The Mediterranean diet has been associated with good health, including a healthier heart. A 2013 study found that people following a Mediterranean diet had a 30% lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
You can make your diet more Mediterranean-style by:
eating plenty of starchy foods, such as bread and pasta
eating plenty of fruit and vegetables
eating some fish
eating less meat
choosing products made from vegetable and plant oils, such as olive oil
