  The Mediterranean diet contains a surplus of nutritious food, from whole grains to olive oil-it is a   combination of well-chosen ingredients that provides long-lasting health benefits. It has a holistic diet approach that emphasizes the quality of food over its quantity.  U.S News & World Report  (2021) ranked the Mediterranean diet as number 1 over 39 other food diets due to reasons such as promoting a healthy heart and managing diabetes. Evidently, this is due to the food components that the diet is known for-vegetables and fruits rich in antioxidants, whole grains with high fiber, legumes rich in protein, and more. This list of meal ideas can easily be made at home as long as you have the right set of ingredients. Keep in mind that highly processed food should be avoided in order to arrive with a hearty dish that is bursting with earthy flavors and nutrition.

  A well-balanced diet means eating the right quantity and quality of food. It denotes healthy eating as a standard given that it includes a variety of nutritious food such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and lean proteins. Moreover, food patterns depend on the specific eating diet of a person and various patterns exit for those following a Mediterranean or Vegetarian diet. It should also be assumed that these food group recommendations come in nutrient-dense forms. Hence, calories acquired from added sugars, refined starches, solid fats, alcohol should be limited. In order to accomplish this, knowing how to portion food effectively is the key. It starts by knowing what each person’s “macro-nutrients” needs each day are. We call macro-nutrients carbohydrates, protein and lipids (fat). They are the nutritive elements of our food that our body uses for energy and to maintain the structure and function of our organs. Depending on individual goals, age, and he...

  Dominique Fradin-Read  with her father in Versailles at Christmas time Aside from its rich flavors, Mediterranean cuisine is widely known for its health benefits.  The Medi t erranean Diet Foundation  (2015) illustrated it as “a valuable cultural heritage that represents much more than a simple, rich, and healthy nutritional guideline. It is a balanced lifestyle that includes recipes, ways of cooking, celebrations, customs, typical products, and various human activities.” The advantage mostly comes from its ingredients given that various superfoods such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil are included in a recipe. Although they still consume fish, eating less meat and more plant-based food are also part of its objectives. Most of these are beneficial in keeping a heart-healthy lifestyle. In general, I can testify that the Mediterranean diet advocates for a clean and balanced diet selection of food by outweighing good fats over the bad. The keys to a...

               Growing up, most of us never gave a thought to the process of                     aging. But somewhere along the way, as we spot that first gray                   hair in the mirror or that first smile wrinkle that wasn’t there                     before, things change. Suddenly aging becomes a growing concern in our lives. We see older friends and relatives slowing down, some confined to beds and wheelchairs, others dying from horrible diseases.
