Mediterranean diet recipes

The Mediterranean diet is well-known as one of the healthiest in the world. This way of eating focuses on whole unprocessed foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, minimal refined carbs, less meat and more fish.

The benefits are well documented. Following a Mediterranean diet may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. It appears to minimise weight gain and helps people stay at a healthy weight. Not to mention, it may lead to a longer live, as it's the diet followed in two out of the five 'blue zones.'
