Eat Well, Live Better

The Mediterranean diet wins again — and again and again. In fact, I have never read an article or scientific report where the Mediterranean diet was even remotely linked with higher mortality. Most studies show a 30 percent decrease in mortality for people and populations who eat a Mediterranean diet. 

The western diet of steak, hot dogs, and french fries promotes disease, while a Mediterranean diet of fruits, vegetables, and olive oil promotes health. The choice is simple, and the results clear. 

In future blogs, I will work to define this diet. Suffice it to say, anytime you choose vegetables and fish over fish and chips you move to a healthier place. 

Make life simple, choose health. 

Stay well.
