Well Fish, vegetables and nuts are good for you, but I wouldn't say that was an Mediterranean Diet, its just a sensible diet.

Oh how disappointing ... I was hoping they'd say a new study suggests a Mediterranean diet is not good for you, then next week they could announce that a Mediterranean diet is the best thing since sliced bread. You know, nothing like adding impact to the fact that a Mediterranean diet is good.

I reckon that if I lived in the Mediterranean I would live longer whatever I ate.....

Re: Adopting Mediterranean diet in old age can prolong life, study suggests

I strongly suspect that it is the sheer quality of the produce grown in such a fertile warm environment that makes it all healthy.

As ingredients go, we all know that they are good and healthy but there is surely a marked difference between the produce in the UK and that in the Mediterranean climes.

I suspect 2 people could cook exactly the same meal, one in the UK and one in the Med using local produce and the Mediterranean one would ultimately be healthier.
