Advantages of Mediterranean Dishes
Mediterranean dishes are considered to be healthy since…
- they include lots of veggies that are high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
- they minimize sugar and high-glycemic foods.
- they use healthy fats like olive oil (instead of unhealthier fats like butter).
- they emphasize fish and seafood, which tend to be lean and low in saturated fat.
- dairy sources, like yogurt and cheese, are eaten in moderation.
