The Mediterranean Diet for Beginners

By Jamie Leach

Fruits and Vegetables

The Mediterranean diet is rich with recipes that include leafy greens, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and more.

Nuts

They are all amazing for you! Plus, they are excellent snacks that will fight off hunger in between meals and keep your mind sharp.

Olive Oil

Just get yourself and big bottle of extra-virgin olive oil and drizzle it on the pan before cooking anything. 

Fish

White meat chicken that hasn’t been deep fried is also a good choice, but save the red meat for special occasions.

Wine

Using the above building-blocks, you can make a bevy of delicious dishes that will fill you up while infusing your body with nutrients. 

The Mediterranean diet has even been shown to reduce your Alzheimer’s risk by up to 90 percent.
