It is no secret that the people of the Mediterranean are healthier than most people elsewhere in the world. They have lower rates of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. The people have a longer life expectancy and look younger than people their same age living elsewhere. It is no wonder that Mediterranean diet foods are now making their way around the world as more people seek that youth and beauty for their own life.
So, what are the secret foods that these people are eating that make them so youthful and vibrant? The answer is in plant food sources, since that is the bulk of what people eat in that region of the world.
Common plant sources of Mediterranean foods include whole grains, potatoes, corn, vegetables, and fruits. There is a big emphasis on eating a great variety of plant foods that were grown fresh locally. This limits the chemicals, preservatives, and pesticides that are on the food during the growing season.
