If you’re looking for a diet to begin for the New Year, consider The Mediterranean Diet. It’s delicious, heart-healthy, diabetes-friendly, and the winner for the sixth year in a row for Best Overall Diet. What sets the Mediterranean diet apart from other diets is that it isn’t a whole lifestyle change, it’s not about food groups but food quality. The Mediterranean Diet focuses primarily on plant-based foods: whole grains, nuts, beans, fruits and vegetables. With an emphasis on lean meats like poultry and fish, over red meats. And seasoning foods with herbs and spices in lieu of salt. Lastly, the Mediterranean diet has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain cancers, such as breast, colon and prostate.
