The Mediterranean diet is a traditional way of eating that is based on the dietary habits of people in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. This diet is characterized by a high intake of plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and legumes, as well as a moderate consumption of fish and seafood, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. Red meat and sweets are consumed in smaller quantities. The Mediterranean diet is also known for its use of healthy fats, such as olive oil, nuts, and seeds, and its emphasis on fresh, minimally processed foods. In addition to its focus on nutritious foods, the Mediterranean diet also promotes a relaxed approach to eating, with meals enjoyed with family and friends and a focus on savoring the flavors and textures of food.

Research has shown that the Mediterranean diet is associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, obesity, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. This is thought to be due to the high intake of plant-based foods, which are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients, as well as the use of healthy fats and the avoidance of processed and sugary foods.
