Mediterranean Cuisine Originating from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, this cuisine emphasizes olive oil, fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and fish. Moderate consumption of dairy, poultry, and red wine complements a low intake of red meat and processed foods. Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, it supports cardiovascular health and reduces inflammation. Dishes like Greek salads, grilled sardines, and hummus reflect a flavorful, sustainable way of eating. Its association with lower rates of chronic diseases and increased lifespan makes it a global benchmark for healthy eating.
