Mediterranean Diet Healthy Weight loss

Dieting is frequently mentioned as beneficial for being low in saturated fat and rich in monounsaturated fat and dietary fiber. 

The Mediterranean Diet describes a yummy way of eating and drinking.

One of the main explanations is thought to be the health effects of olive oil included in the Mediterranean diet.

The Mediterranean diet is rich in salt content.

Foods such as

• olives
• salt-cured cheeses
• anchovies
• capers
• salted fish roe
• salads dressed with olive oil all contain high levels of salt.
     Salt is particularly important for salads dressed with virgin olive oil, because the antioxidants it contains are slightly bitter.
• intake of red wine is considered a possible factor, as it contains flavonoids with powerful antioxidant properties.

The main aspects of Mediterranean diet includes

• high olive oil consumption
• high consumption of legumes
• high consumption of unrefined cereals
• high consumption of fruits
• high consumption of veggies
• moderate consumption of dairy products
• moderate to high consumption of fish
• low consumption of meat and meat products
• moderate wine consumption.
