WORLD HERITAGE

The Mediterranean Diet has made it ​​on UNESCO´s World Heritage List.


The philosophy behind the Mediterranean diet is:


- You have to increase your daily consumption of seasonal fruits and vegetables, preferably organic.
- Use extra virgin olive oil (DOP quality).
- Half of the daily energy should come from grains, rice and maize, which is eaten in turn.
- One must use many herbs, onions, garlic, carrots and celery to make the food taste instead of just salt.
- Lower consumption of meat and replace it with beans and other protein-rich legumes and blue-fish, which contain much omega 3.


The day has three main meals and two "snacks": One in the morning and one in the afternoon.


Much research shows that the Mediterranean Diet reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
