Eating is a very important event in the Mediterranean culture, so much so that I would actually call it a ritual; it is a time where beautiful memories are made spent with people we love and sharing food that we love There have been a lot of studies done on the benefits for people that fully or partially follow a Mediterranean diet.
The studies have shown that the food cooked from those regions have huge benefits in controlling certain diseases as well as resulting in an overall feeling of wellness.
They have been known to lower the risk of certain diseases such as cardio vascular disease, cancer and diabetes to name a few.They can also be beneficial in lowering cholesterol, promoting healthy aging and help establish healthier mental function .
