As we´re going to talk about food and diet next week, read this post  about the Mediterranean Diet. You´ll find some tips to have a good and healthy life.

The Mediterranean Diet is a living style. Years ago, it was the natural way of life of many people especially in Spain, Italy and Greece: high activity, Mediterranean nutrition and anti stress attitudes. Nowadays, many responsible people all over the world keep what is considered to be the healthiest diet in the world.

Do not forget that the original Mediterranean Diet characteristics are:

1. High consumption of virgin olive oil.
2. High intake of vegetables and fruits and legumes.
3. Use of non refined carbohydrates (portions to be adjusted to physical activity).
4. Consumption of fish, specially oily (or “bluish” one) three o for times a week
5. Consumption of milk and derivates, cheese and yogurt.
Keep an eye on the saturated fats of the dairy products. Not too much!
6. Three or four eggs per week.
7. Moderate consumption of meat and saturated fats.
8. One or two small glasses of wine a day, preferably red and at the main meals. White wine and beer are alternatives.
9. Nuts as snacks
