Overview

A Mediterranean diet has been known to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and makes people healthier in general. In particular, it reduces the incidence of heart attacks by 30-40% and deaths from heart disease by 20%. It may be one reason why people living in the Mediterranean region have longer life expectancies than those living in other parts of the world. It is characterized by a pattern of eating that includes fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, olives and olive oil. Fish and dairy products are eaten in small amounts. Red meat is consumed rarely. The term 'Mediterranean' itself was introduced by Ancel Keys in the 1970s. The original designations were 'Mediterranean Cause', because this diet was being publicized as a preventative for cancer, and 'Mediterranean Life' as it promoted longevity. Over the years, these designations have been associated with many specifics such as Mediterranean DASH , MedDiet , and High Fiber . Moreover, studies have revealed that the Mediterranean diet is also associated with higher cognitive function in older adults. A study published in 2007 by researchers at Harvard University showed that people who closely adhere to a Mediterranean diet (Modified Mediterranean Diet Score, i.e. MDS) have better cognitive function than people who do not adhere to a Med diet.
