Mediterranean diet

This diet has been analyzed  and awarded multiple times as one of the best in the world for years. But, for this to benefit you, you must do physical activity, moderate your salt intake, and avoid certain common vices such as tobacco, alcoholic and carbonated beverages.

If you thought about eating pasta and drinking wine every day, the reality is somewhat far from this scenario.

What is the Mediterranean diet?

These are some of its pillars, although to carry it out, always go with an expert who gives you the best possible guide.

You must eat 5 meals a day: three strong meals and two snacks:

Daily you should consume whole grains, greens, vegetables and olive oil. Of course you can add bread, rice, pasta, but as long as they are whole grain.

You can add cheese, yogurt, eggs, fish several times a week, however, you will see that over time, your body will ask you for natural foods and lower your fat intake.

Occasionally eating meat or chicken is allowed, although thanks to the richness of the diet, little by little you can make a transition to a plant-based diet.
