The Power of the Mediterranean Diet Observations and years of experience have shown that the diet of the peoples of the southern Mediterranean had beneficial effects in protecting against many diseases. This observation was subsequently confirmed by epidemiological studies.
In fact, the first scientific study (known as the „Study of 7 Countries“) conducted by Professor Ancel Keys in 1960 established the relationship between cardiovascular diseases and fatty substances in food. It highlighted the protective effect of the Mediterranean Diet (MD), explaining the lower number of cardiovascular diseases among the peoples of southern Europe compared to northern Europe and America.
The Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest dietary patterns worldwide, mainly characterized by a high consumption of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. A cornerstone of this diet is the daily use of olive oil as the main added fat.
