The Mediterranean diet is not a diet per say (at least not in your traditional understanding of the word "diet"); it is more of a lifestyle or a way of living and eating healthy. It is a way of eating that is more traditionally practiced by people and communities living around the Mediterranean Sea. While most of us get our daily dietary needs from processed food and fats, most of the people living around the Mediterranean region get these nutrients from vegetables, fruits, olive oil, cheese and yoghurt. Their meal plans integrate less than 30- 25 % fat. It also includes many physical activities (staying active). Science has proven that people from these regions are less prone to cardiovascular ailments that are generally related to weight. The Mediterranean diet has also been proven by scores of scientists to be one of the healthiest in the world.
