The traditional Mediterranean nutrition has been proven to be the healthiest diet by many studies in Greece and elsewhere.
The Mediterranean diet is characterised by the alimentary habits of the residents of Crete and South Italy in the beginning of the 1960s.
It is famous for its beneficial qualities as it protects from myocardial infarctions and many forms of cancer.
Moreover, it is low in calories, it stimulates the body, it helps the intestine function properly, etc
In the last years, this kind of nutrition has gained more and more ground; various studies indicate that the residents of the Mediterranean live longer and suffer from intestine and heart cancer less often than the residents of the USA and North Europe.
The menu is simple and based on modest nutrition; greens, fruits, legumes, pure cheese, fermented black bread, virgin olive oil, dry fruits, some home-made wine and fish!
These are the main components of the Mediterranean diet (high consumption of fruits, vegetables and unsaturated fat), which also protects the skin from the marks of time, aka wrinkles.
Finally, when it is combined with daily physical exercise (ex. walking, dancing, etc), the Mediterranean nutrition menu constitutes a recipe for longevity, health and beauty.
