Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get started with the Mediterranean diet?

The first step to a Mediterranean diet is to stock your kitchen with fresh food, such as fruits and vegetable. This could involve preparing different vegetables or proteins every week that can then be used as a base for recipes in the coming days. Whole grains like quinoa or oat grattas and millet make great substitutes for refined grain. In order to enhance flavor and nutrition, it is important to include healthy fats such olive oil and sesame in your meal prep. Finally, seasonings, including garlic, oregano, basil, and turmeric, are all good additions to meals and will help reduce the need for added sugar or salt!

Can I use regular olive oil instead of extra virgin olive oil?

You can choose regular olive oil over extra virgin olive if you follow the Mediterranean diet. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is better for its nutritional benefits and higher quality, but regular olive oil is still an option due to its mild flavor. Regular olive oil works well for everyday meals, such as roasting vegetables to stir fry dishes. This option has a lower price point than EVOO, and some say it may be better suited to higher heat applications such as deep frying. It doesn't contain the same nutrients as EVOO. So make sure you get all of these benefits in your diet.

Is the Mediterranean Diet expensive?

The Mediterranean diet can be very affordable with readily available ingredients. You can find many staple foods at your local farmers' market or grocery store. Shopping for organic products, premium proteins or specialty items like extra virgin olive oil, can prove more costly. Plan your meals and budget accordingly. It is also a good idea to save money on food by using leftovers or bulk freezing foods such as fish and grains.

How Can the Mediterranean Diet Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke?

Healthy fats, whole grains and legumes are all part of the Mediterranean diet. There are many potential health benefits associated with this diet, including improved blood lipids, glucose control, reduced risk of depression and certain kinds of cancer, better weight management, improved cardiac health, enhanced cognitive functions, and better cardiovascular health. Additionally, research indicates that following this dietary pattern could reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

It is possible to incorporate Mediterranean-inspired foods into your daily diet by swapping high-calorie snacks like chips for nutrient-dense vegetable appetizers or other traditional greens or beans dishes. Additionally, learning how to increase variety in your diet by adding spices or different sources derived from nuts, fruits, and vegetables can help enhance satiety after meals. Furthermore, moderate amounts of dairy products like yogurt, cheese, and milk should be included throughout the day for added nutrition. To complete the Mediterranean experience, olive oil should be used as the primary cooking fat. Red wine can also be enjoyed occasionally.

If combined with regular physical activity at a moderate level, one can see even greater improvements in short term results and long term positive effects on body composition and overall health. The Mediterranean diet encourages eating well and maintains a healthy nutritional balance. This can help to reduce one's chances of suffering from stroke or heart disease.
