Start the Mediterranean Diet

Program Description
The Mediterranean Diet emphasizes a generous intake of vegetables, fruits, plant-based fats (such as olive oil and nuts), fish, moderate consumption of red wine and very little red meat. It is low in saturated fats and nutrient-dense, making it a prime regimen for anyone with high cholesterol or heart health concerns.

Actions

1. Educate yourself on the Mediterranean lifestyle before you begin.

2. Use a high-quality olive oil in place of butter.

3. Keep nuts and fruit on hand for healthy, convenient snacks.

4. Purchase seasonal vegetables for best quality and to save money.

5. Eat a variety of fatty fish, such as salmon or tuna, at least two times per week.
