Mediterranean diet has long been considered one of the healthiest diets on the planet. This diet plan discourages the use of saturated fats and hydrogenated oils while cooking meals.
Healthy foods as part of anti-inflammatory diet to fight inflammation are basic components of the Mediterranean diet.
Foods that fight inflammation also reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis - thickening of the vessel walls, and thereby prevent a heart attack.
Our brains shrink by 1-2 percent per year in old age and a Mediterranean-style diet could potentially help to slow down this shrinking process.
