Why the Mediterranean Diet for Heart Health?
Decades of research consistently show that the Mediterranean diet — rich in olive oil, fish, whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables — significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, and improves cholesterol levels. It’s not a restrictive diet. It’s a way of eating that’s as satisfying as it is protective.
