You don't need
a silver fork to eat good food.
It is widely known that Mediterranean diet
is the healthiest of all. An analysis of more than 1.5 million healthy adults
demonstrated that following a Mediterranean diet was associated with a reduced
risk of death from heart disease and cancer, as well as a reduced incidence of
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Mediterranean diet is based on the
dietary traditions of Crete, Greece and southern Italy around 1960.At that time these populations were relatively poor and had limited access to
medical health, but their life expectancy was among the highest in the
world. But how and why the diet of the
“poor” can be so helpful?
