It’s been known for years that following the “Mediterranean Diet” leads to better health and longevity. The problem is, there is no direct diet for it, it is more of a lifestyle which U.S. News & World Report recently ranked the number one best diet for 2023 out of 24 diets analyzed. This is the sixth straight year it has won top place. The diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, as well as seafood and lean poultry, with a focus on unsaturated fat from sources like extra virgin olive oil. You should try to avoid red meat, whole fat dairy, sweets, processed meat and snack food, sugary drinks, butter and have a limited amount of alcohol.
