Collection: Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean diet is inspired by traditional eating patterns of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, olive oil, and fish, with moderate amounts of poultry, eggs, and dairy, and limited red meat.

Research shows the Mediterranean diet reduces risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cognitive decline. It's rich in healthy fats (olive oil, fish), antioxidants, fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds while being low in processed foods and saturated fats.

Yes! While not specifically designed for weight loss, many people lose weight on the Mediterranean diet due to its emphasis on whole foods, healthy fats that increase satiety, and naturally lower calorie density compared to Western diets. It's sustainable long-term.

The Mediterranean diet recommends eating fish at least twice per week, particularly fatty fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, and anchovies which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. If you don't eat fish regularly, consider a high-quality omega-3 supplement.

While the diet is nutrient-rich, beneficial supplements include omega-3 fish oil (if you don't eat fish regularly), vitamin D, olive leaf extract for additional antioxidants, and probiotics for gut health. A quality multivitamin can fill any nutritional gaps.
