Life is becoming busier and busier each day. Most people's days are spent working, studying, doing chores at home, or running errands to make sure their lives, jobs, and finances are as secure as possible. In the midst of all this chaos, wouldn't you want to slow down and take a nice long relaxing vacation around the Mediterranean?

Of course, not all of us can afford to travel to that wonderful region on a whim. So, if you can't go to the Mediterranean; just bring the Mediterranean to you. All you need to do is to travel to the local supermarket and bring home the fresh foods, the delicious flavors and the delectable aromas of the Mediterranean. Not only will it be affordable; the Mediterranean Diet will also bring you and your family wonderful health benefits.

Throughout the course of history, people living on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea have enjoyed long-term good health and longevity. This has inspired hundreds of doctors and nutrition experts to conduct research on the eating habits of Greece, Southern Italy, Spain, and other people living in that coastal region.

What could be causing the major health disparity between those living in the Mediterranean region and those living in other regions of the world? The answer lies in what they eat. Mediterranean Diet's health benefits, as well as the protection it provides against chronic illnesses, have been well studied and established by medical communities all over the world.

The Mediterranean Diet reflects the eating habits that are traditional in the countries contiguous to the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Diet is founded on the basics of healthy eating: moderate to high consumption of dairy products, fish, fruits, legumes, olive oil, vegetables, and whole grains; moderate consumption of wine; and low to no consumption of non-fish meat. The recipes we have provided in this book should be able to give you inspiration and get you into the habit of planning and prepping your meals, choosing high-quality, local and seasonal ingredients, and overall stocking up on the "right" types of food.

You will hopefully be able to switch to this healthier lifestyle and eating regime, without too much effort.
