What Is The Mediterranean Diet?
Mediterranean Diet Pyramid
Published in last the latest Ticker Tape there is an article on the Mediterranean Diet. But due to printing restriction the Pyramid food template did not show up very well. Please click the link to find out MORE
Lets go back to basics! I thought I would revisit the Mediterranean Diet for this issue of Ticker Tape, after I had a shock reading an article from Patient UK, which I would like to share with you.
‘the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid is currently issued in Greece, where authorities are trying to combat health problems resulting from the commercial introduction of Western Style produce!’
How sad is that!
The Mediterranean Diet has been the gold standard recommendation as part of a healthy lifestyle and in a reduction in Coronary Heart Disease, since studies on hundreds of thousands of people have been performed since the 1980s.
