Patient Resource: The Mediterranean Eating Style

Small changes in food choices can make a big difference in overall health. The Mediterranean eating style, which focuses on low-fat, plant-based foods, has been shown to help with weight loss and lower the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic kidney disease. It’s also a very tasty, fun, and easy eating pattern to follow. Healthmap Solutions prepared a handy guide that explains Mediterranean eating, offers tips to get started, and shows how to plan meals.
