Question

What are the countries of Southern Europe? Why is the Mediterranean Diet considered “healthy”?

Answer 1

I would make the difference here between Southern Europe and South-Eastern Europe. South-Eastern Europe is the whole Balkan peninsula (Greece, a part of Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania and ex-Yugoslavia); but Southern Europe is usually considered to be Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal). Cyprus is geographically not in Europe, but geopolitically it is, so OK you can add it.



The diet is healthy because they eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil, sea food etc.

Answer 2

The history of olive oil, olive oil uses and olive oil facts are looked at very seriously because of the health benefits of olive oil and other related properties. There is even talk now that some shelf products in supermarkets may brandish a logo to identify that they belong to the traditional Mediterranean diet food groups. Beside the Mediterranean diet weight plan focus that is seemingly everywhere, it is now also known for its heart health properties and I've also heard it called the 'Mediterranean heart diet'. Recently, people have been searching for subject matter based on the Mediterranean diet and diabetes, Arthrosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Peptic Ulcers, lower blood pressure and there are more breakthroughs being investigated.

Answer 3

Portugal because it is on the Atlantic shoreline. Most of France is not Mediterranean, but it has a few islands and shorelines on the Mediterranean sea.

Answer 4

Sundance's answer was spot on. The Mediterranean diet is also healthy because it includes everything you need, and tends to be locally grown, fresh and organic.

Answer 5

The countries are Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Malta, Cyprus and Turkey.

The diet is considered healthy, because it consists of much more fish than meat, a lot of fresh vegetables and olive oil.

Answer 6

Heya, The best results that I have ever had was with Marks magic method (just google it) Without a doubt the most useful diet that I have ever tried.
