Earlier this year, U.S. News and World Report voted the Mediterranean Diet as the number one "Best Overall." In this week's Healthier Together, an associate professor of food and nutrition at Seattle Pacific University explains how easy it is to adopt this approach to food.
"Having lived in the US for over 25 years now, I've been very curious and kind of fascinated by this tension that exists around food," said Dr. Daniela Gheleva. "People in the Mediterranean region are significantly less concerned about minute aspects of their daily eating. There's so much concern about maintaining the food tradition, maintaining the overall food culture and being really proud of that food culture, and allowing their meals and daily food choices to emulate that food culture," Gheleva said. "In addition, there isn't one Mediterranean diet.
"It's not about counting calories, it's not about a list of off limit foods or food groups. It's also not about having a pile on your plate of starchy pasta or rice with little something else," she said.
