Introduction

 

Looking to change things up on your plate? With our modern age diets, we all go through this phase of exploring out of our current not-so-healthy pastures and seeking out healthier ones.

Everyone has his or her reasons for shifting to the health bandwagon—from weight issues to health problems. And, some of us just want to feel better and live a happier, fuller life. That said, your reasons for wanting to change your diet are secondary concerns. What matters most is understanding that this isn’t a nag for change, but a sign your current dietary lifestyle needs changing. After all, what you put on your plate matters a lot.

If you’re like most Americans, you’ve probably seen your fair share of formidable plates. Breakfast starts with bowls of sugary cereals, doughnuts or stacked up pancakes covered with a healthy dose of maple-flavored syrup. By the time you’re done with breakfast, you’ve already prepped your body with food to reduce your daily health levels. As the saying goes: You can’t outrun a bad habit.

There’s a silver lining in all this, however.  You don’t need to outrun a bad habit when you can defeat it. Once you stop feeling the need to run, you’re more likely to enjoy the current life you have. And that’s exactly where the Mediterranean diet comes in.

This revolutionary diet has gained an increasing popularity within the health-sphere for a variety of reasons. We’re going to dive into each and every reason so that you will understand the benefits this has to offer you. But, before we jump head first; we’re going to look at the roots of the Mediterranean diet in Chapter 1. After that, we’ll dip our toes in and check out the kinds of foods this diet promotes. Getting the basics down is quite important to really understand where all the benefits of this diet lie. After we’re done with all the essential talk, we’ll look at the different advantages this diet has to offer in Chapter 3. Lastly, Chapter 4 and 5 will explore how you can get started on the Mediterranean diet and how you can maintain it for healthy living.
