How Mediterranean Diet And Sports Nutrition Shapes Dietary Advice

The traditional Mediterranean diet describes the everyday eating pattern of countries around the Mediterranean in the mid twentieth century: olive oil as the main fat, plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts and wholegrains, fish and dairy in moderate amounts and little red or processed meat. Research in this field has moved from observing that these populations lived longer to testing the pattern in randomised trials, which have shown reductions in cardiovascular events. It is studied as a whole pattern rather than as a list of single nutrients.
