The main problem of western societies is the increasing number of overweight
and obese people. Their health problems risk to damage their life. Here
there is a possible solution coming directly from the Mediterranean sea...
Our lifestyles are different in respect those ones of our grannies. Now we
move less and eat more.
Summarizing we can say the we have 4 main problem:
1) Less time for physical activity
2) Stress
3) No more homemade foods
4) No social interactions
We have to defeat obesity and other problems like heart diseases, diabetes,
cancer etc...in respects to the past.
The Mediterranean diet (
http://www.mediterraneanbook.com/the-mediterranean-diet/ ) is an
ancient way to eat used by the Mediterranean people to live better and
longer.
It's not a diet but an eating behavior.
It' impossible to say that there is a "Typical" Mediterranean diet because
there are so many recipes and foods that it's impossible to classify them
all.
Here 6 reasons to help you follow the Med diet and live a better life by
reducing the risk of diseases.
- It's not expensive
Most low carbs diet programs like Atkins, South beach, Etc...require that
you buy their foods. Instead the Mediterranean diet pyramid is made by
simple foods you can buy at low cost in every supermarket.
- It's tasty
This is a way to live, not a "Diet", so you don't have to soffer if you
don't eat the foods you like because you can eat everything you want by
respecting the general portions and principles.
- It's a long term diet
Loosing weight fast is not healthy. You can damage your body because your
don't eat useful nourishment. There is also an high possibility that you'll
gain weight to fast after some months you've lost it.
- It's Healthy
The main foods have tremendous health benefits. Consider the benefits of
wine, olive oil, garlic, tomatoes and fresh fruit on reducing the risk of
cancer and heart diseases.
- It's trusted
You won't find no one that talks bad about this diet...and all of the most
known diets take their principles from it. The only problems could arrive
for people who have diabetes 2 type, but it's remote possibility.
- It helps you live longer
It's a statistical fact. Who live in the Mediterranean countries (Italy,
Greece, Spain, Turkey, etc...) have a longer life then other populations.
