Everyone, it seems, is raging about the Mediterranean diet. Nutrition and medical professionals praise it as a way to prevent heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, depression, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s—not to mention its fame as a way to lose weight.
But what about the people who were following the Mediterranean diet before it was cool (or even a thing!)? The Mediterranean diet in Spain is not a thing of scientific journals or weight loss websites. It’s simply a part of normal life.
Fresh seafood and veggies are staples of the Mediterranean diet!
Here in Spain, olive oil is bountiful and tasty. Fresh fruits and vegetables are staples of snacks and dessert. Fish and seafood are plentiful for lunch, dinner, tapas and more.
