Recommended by the World Health Organisation and perennial winner of the US News Best Diet Awards, the Mediterranean Diet is well-established as an evidence-based pattern of eating which can contribute significantly to a long and healthy life. Yet all too often the Mediterranean Diet is described in a sentence or two, reduced to vegetables, fruit, fish and olive oil. Understanding the Real Mediterranean Diet is a journey of discovery, with research now unlocking the nutritional secrets deeply embedded in the intuitive wisdom, traditions, landscape, culture and cuisine of those ancient lands which border the sea.
