The Mediterranean Vegetable Cookbook

The Mediterranean Diet is a diet inspired by healthy eating habits of the Mediterranean residents back in the 1960s. The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products. Olive oil has been studied as a potential health factor for reducing all-cause mortality and the risk of chronic diseases. The Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality. There is also evidence that the Mediterranean diet lowers the risk of heart disease and early death. This book will teach you everything you need to know to be able to follow the healthy Mediterranean lifestyle, including the diet.
