If you're looking for a heart-healthy eating routine, the Mediterranean diet might be right for you.

It has been shown to reduce risk of heart disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, certain cancers, depression, and in older adults, a decreased risk of frailty, along with better mental and physical function.

The main principles of a Mediterranean diet are all about the right balance and variation:

  • Consume vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats daily

  • Eat fish, poultry, beans and eggs a few times a week

  • Be sensible about dairy. Don't eat a block of cheese every day!

  • Limit your intake of red meat. Perhaps a weekend treat.

  • Get your sweet rush from fresh fruits and vegetables.

  • Eat seasonal, Eat local, Eat fresh

  • A glass of red wine a day, is no bad thing!
