This whole wheat pasta with vegetables recipe is another great example of a Mediterranean diet meal.

We’ve all heard of the Mediterranean diet, but what exactly is it?

The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating that mimics traditional food ways in Mediterranean regions. The Mediterranean diet focuses on whole foods and puts a large emphasis on fresh produce, plant-based protein, and healthy fats. Some fundamental foods found within the Mediterranean diet are fish, olive oil, legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nuts and seeds.

This lifestyle choice is prompted by the vast scientific proof that demonstrates excellent health benefits for people who adhere to this lifestyle. People consuming the Mediterranean diet often experience a reduced health risk of chronic diseases such as different types of cancers, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and more. It also provides protection against cognitive decline by protecting the small blood vessels in the brain which is found to lower the risk of Alzheimer’s by 40%.

This bowl full of leafy greens, roasted chickpeas, and additional vegetables make this a delicious Mediterranean diet meal.

The Mediterranean diet has also been proven to be more effective at weight loss than the low-fat diet alternative. All in all, there are numerous benefits of the Mediterranean diet including that it is a delicious way of eating.  

This class is perfect for people who are looking to demystify food and understand how food and health interact. If you find yourself interested in trying the Mediterranean diet but you are unsure where to start, that is perfectly normal. It is difficult to know where to begin when changing something as intimidating as your diet.

Olives grow abundantly in the Mediterranean and olive oil is a kitchen staple in the Mediterranean diet
