Is oatmeal OK on a Mediterranean diet?
Yes, oatmeal may be consumed on the Mediterranean Diet. Oats can be whole grains that provide a good source or dietary fiber and minerals, such as iron and magene. They can be served with blueberries as well as nuts, seeds and savory dishes like eggs or cheese. Oatmeal is also versatile and can help make a healthy breakfast. Oatmeal can be added to smoothies, used as a topping in protein bars or simply eaten plain with almond butter and various toppings like cinnamon, gojiberries and chia seed. Many people consider oats compatible with Mediterranean diets because they are popular in many countries.
Can I drink alcohol while on the Mediterranean diet
It is possible to have moderate amounts of alcohol as part the Mediterranean diet. This drinking style should be limited to 1 glass daily for women and 2 for men. Drinks that are suitable include beer, dry wines, and spirits made from natural ingredients, such as vodka, whiskey, brandy, and gin. Because of their high sugar content, avoid heavy spirits like cocktails. Drinking water and herbal teas daily can help keep your body hydrated, as well as reduce the desire to drink sugary drinks.
