MAGISNAT MEETING – May 6th, 2024
"Understanding the Mediterranean Diet"
This week, the focus of MAGISNAT’s scientific team was the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet represents a dietary approach inspired by the traditional eating habits of populations residing in the Mediterranean region. Central to this diet is the consumption of abundant plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains.
Moderate intake of fish, poultry, and dairy products, particularly yogurt and cheese, is also characteristic. Red meat is consumed sparingly, while processed foods and sweets are limited. Moreover, the Mediterranean diet places emphasis on lifestyle factors such as regular physical activity. This dietary pattern has garnered attention for its association with various health benefits, including reduced risk of different pathological conditions, improved metabolic health, and enhanced longevity.
