Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mediterranean Diet suitable for people suffering from certain health conditions like diabetes?
The Mediterranean Diet is a good choice for those with diabetes. This diet is based on whole foods, focuses on healthy fats instead of butter or lard, and minimizes refined sugars and carbs. This helps reduce diabetes risk in people who don't already have it. It also controls blood sugar levels and insulin for those with diabetes. Incorporating some exercise into this diet will help maintain and control blood sugar levels. A balanced diet that includes healthy food substitutions, such as whole-grain bread being replaced with whole-grain bread and nuts being added to salads rather than crackers, can help manage symptoms of many different conditions.
What are the basic principles of the Mediterranean diet?
Mediterranean lifestyle is known for its emphasis on healthy and nutritious food choices, regular exercise, and regular socializing. This diet emphasizes fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, as well as healthy fats like olive oil and nuts. There is also a moderate amount of dairy products, fish and meat. It encourages moderate consumption of red wines. The basic principles of the Mediterranean diet are:
- Consume primarily plant-based food, such as fruits and vegetables, whole-grain breads and cereals, beans (legumes), seeds, nuts and seeds, healthy fats from olive oils and olives, yogurt (preferably nonfat), fish (at minimum twice per week), and small amounts lean poultry and red meat approximately once per week. Avoid fried foods.
- When possible, prefer fresh ingredients to pre-packaged processed foods.
- Use herbs instead of salt to enhance your meals.
- Include physical activity in your daily life, such as walking after dinner or taking part in an exercise class.
- Enjoy sharing meals with friends and family, and enjoy the joy of eating together.
- Pay attention to the tastes, textures and smells of your food. This is mindfulness eating. This will allow you to know when you feel full and satisfied.
Can the Mediterranean Diet allow for vegetarians?
Yes, vegetarians can follow the Mediterranean Diet. This eating style can be followed by vegetarians who omit meats such as red meat, poultry, fish, and other animal proteins. For protein, they could opt for plant-based sources such as legumes and nuts. This is the Mediterranean Diet's mainstay. Healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, and olives can be added to compensate for any sourced protein. Alternate dairy sources, such as soy yogurt or tofu, can be used to supplement the diet. You can also try other options such as mashing beans with toast, adding nuts or seeds to salads and bowls, serving hummus throughout the day with vegetables, or substituting ice-cream with frozen banana slices for dessert.
Rice is a part of the Mediterranean diet
Mediterranean diets allow rice but encourage it. This dietary pattern emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats such as olive oil and nuts, and a moderate intake of dairy products, fish, meat, and poultry. Whole-grain brown rice is an excellent source of carbohydrate and provides energy. It's also rich in dietary fiber, which can improve digestion as well as provide essential nutrients for your health such iron, B vitamins and magnesium. In order to incorporate rice into your meals, you can add cooked grains to soups, stews and salads. When eating rice-based dishes, it is important to limit the amount of fat.
