Just a few days ago, and on the occasion of World Health Day, we talked to you in our networks about the importance of maintaining certain healthy habits that contribute to the good state of our health and thus to the prevention of diseases.
In our post we talked about the many benefits that more and more foreigners are finding to take up residence in Spain, since the Mediterranean area, for example, meets all the requirements to have a completely healthy lifestyle.
In addition, with the arrival of this time of the year, the long hours of sunshine are an invitation to go out, practice outdoor activities and, of course, enjoy the benefits of the best food, the Mediterranean diet, on a nice terrace.
In this sense, and although we know that in all local gastronomies we find great recipes and tasty dishes, for us there is no doubt that, for its quality, taste and raw material, there are no better foods than those of the Mediterranean diet, in addition to its numerous benefits for our health.
Do you want to have one more reason to fall in love with the Mediterranean coast? We tell you why the Mediterranean diet is the best in the world!
Mediterranean Diet: enjoy the tastiest foods while taking care of your health
To talk about the Mediterranean Diet is not simply to talk about a way of eating. No. The Mediterranean Diet is almost a philosophy of life that many people follow to the letter to maintain their health in an enviable way thanks to its wealth of products and their benefits, which makes us have a totally balanced diet.
Have you ever wondered what makes the Mediterranean Diet the healthiest diet in the world?
We will tell you.
- The Mediterranean Diet helps to promote the health of your heart:
One of the cornerstones of the Mediterranean Diet is the consumption of healthy fats, mainly in the form of extra virgin olive oil. Known in Spain as “liquid gold”, it has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and promoting the health of the cardiovascular system.
- Antioxidant-rich products:
Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, spinach, blueberries and grapes, are abundant in the Mediterranean Diet, providing a burst of antioxidants. These compounds fight oxidative stress in the body, protecting cells against damage and reducing the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer.
- The best fresh fish:
Regular consumption of fish, especially varieties rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon and sardines, benefits cardiovascular and brain health. Omega-3s have been shown to reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function, contributing to a full and active life.
- Legumes as a source of protein:
The Mediterranean Diet balances protein sources with a combination of legumes, nuts and whole grains. This diversification not only provides lean protein to maintain muscle mass, but also provides sustainable energy throughout the day.
- Disease prevention:
Multiple studies have linked the Mediterranean Diet to reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as obesity prevention. The combination of fresh ingredients and essential nutrients contributes to a healthier and longer-lasting lifestyle.
- Positive impact on our mental health:
Mediterranean diet has been associated with a lower incidence of depression and mental disorders. The presence of omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and antioxidants may play a crucial role in mental and emotional health.
