Mediterranean Diet is Life Friendly

Jetting off to the fabled Mediterranean region maybe too much for your budget, but Mediterranean-style of eating can make you live longer, according to Dr. Peter Libby in the New York Times. A comprehensive study of the Mediterranean diet convinced the good doctor that the unique way they prepare their foods has immense health benefits. This diet consists of fruits, vegetables, fish, the ever faithful olive oil and red wine. These makes for great recipes which are low in fat and more satisfying.

The research also shows that the diet lowers the chances of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and prevents heart problems and the big C. It is a diet that is easy on the palate, one that can be habit-forming.
