Those interested in finding the right diet to help lose weight have probably heard of the Mediterranean diet. However, as revealed in recent scientific study by Dr. Hanna E. Bloomfield and her colleagues, this diet may do more than simply reduce the size of your waistline; it could also save your life in the long run. The study was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on July 18. The Mediterranean diet is an eating pattern that originated in countries around the Mediterranean Sea, such as Italy and Greece. Of course, the different cultures bordering the Mediterranean Sea have various foods and diets, but they all have shared characteristics, according to, the American Heart Association. All of these diets include a high intake of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, olive oil, a moderate amount of dairy products, and red wine. In addition, white meat and fish are preferred to red meat. Mediterranean Diet Does More Than Just Reduce Waistline, Could Save Your Life According to Medscape, the Mediterranean diet is linked with a reduced occurrence of cardiovascular disease, cancer (especially breast cancer), and type 2 diabetes. As a result, people who follow this diet have a much lower risk of death caused by such health problems since they are less likely to develop them to begin with. Considering these facts, it may come as a surprise that the Mediterranean diet is actually high in fat. In America, it is commonly assumed that fat is something to be avoided as much as possible to stay healthy. What many people overlook is the fact that the real problem is saturated fat and sugar, which is the major cause of obesity. The Mediterranean diet, by contrast, is low in saturated fat but high in monounsaturated fats. Multiple research studies have shown that “replacing saturated and trans fat with unsaturated fats can help you live longer,” and on top of that the high-fat Mediterranean diet can do a better job than a low-fat diet when it comes to losing weight, CNN reported. The reason why is because unsaturated fats do not contribute to the creation of cholesterol in the blood as saturated fats do. In other words, unsaturated fats can be considered “healthy fats” and should not be avoided like saturated and trans fats. You can shift to the Mediterranean diet in stages by first using only olive or canola oil for cooking, then replacing red meat with chicken and fish, potato chips with nuts, and generally adding more vegetables, cereals, and beans to dishes, Health Day reported. Naturally, diet alone won’t solve all health problems, as lifestyle choices such as exercise are just as important. However, choosing the Mediterranean diet can be an excellent step to healthy living. For more CDA News, follow our tweets on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

Mediteranska hrana je odlična za dugovječnost Ljudi koji jedu mediteransku hranu žive duže od onih koji to ne čine, zaključak je provedene znanstvene studije u kojoj su promatrane žene. One koje konzumiraju tipično mediteransko voće, povrće, mahunarke, ribu, maslinovo ulje, orašaste plodove, a piju i vino u umjerenim količinama imaju znatno veću šansu za iznimno dugačak život. Otprije je poznata da u mediteranskim predjelima ima jako puno ljudi koji dugo žive, a neki od njih prijeđu i jedno stoljeće života. Mediteranska prehrana je bogata antioksidansima, što je odlično za borbu protiv bolesti. “Prema našim saznanjima, ovo je najveća studija koja se bavila povezanošću mediteranske prehrane i dugovječnosti. Naši rezultati dodatno podupiru činjenicu da takva prehrana promiče zdravlje i dugačak život. Rezultati pokazuju i da je zdrava prehrana općenito iznimno važna za svojstva telomera” – rekli znanstvenici koji su provodili studiju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo gotovo 4.700 žena. Otkriveno je da žene s većim udjelom mediteranskih namirnicama u svojoj prehrani imaju duže telomere što je ključno za dugovječnost. Studija isto tako dokazuje da je mediteranska prehrana kamen temeljac prevencije kardiovaskulranih bolesti koje su jedan od najčešćih uzroka smrtnosti. Zdrava prehrana ključ je prevencije i ostalih teških bolesti, a ona i daje energiju potrebnu za svaki dan te djeluje i na mentalno zdravlje. Među najbolje mediteranske namirnice spadaju plava riba i drugi plodovi mora te maslinovo ulje. Tu je i razno voće i povrće, kao i orašasti plodovi poput badema. Radi se o prehrani bogatoj svježim i sezonskim namirnicama. Ukoliko imate problema sa zdravljem ili se jednostavno želite zdravo hraniti mediteranska prehrana je odličan izbor, tim više što je nama pristupačna.
