Various studies have shown that in Mediterranean countries death rates from cardiovascular diseases are the lowest in Europe. It seems that low intake of animal fats is one of the great advantages of the Mediterranean diet, in favor of an increased intake of fatty fish rich in omega-3. But we must also link the beneficial effect of olive oil that helps the body get rid of "bad cholesterol".
The consumption of legumes and vegetables, pasta, cereals and rice are a major contribution to the diet at the expense of meat, dairy, fats and refined sugars, which are traditionally consumed occasionally.Mediterranean diet has been recognized by doctors and nutritionists as one of the healthiest which provide greater life expectancy and quality of life.We hope that recognition of the Mediterranean diet as cultural heritage serve to recover these healthy habits and that future generations will not get to suffer the consequences of an unbalanced diet.
