Eating Well

Mediterranean Diet Pyramid

Part of the success of the Mediterranean diet at preventing heart disease is their emphasize in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthier fats (in moderation). These healthy fats are found especially in seeds and nuts – like peanuts! Traditional recipes include Dukkah, a mixture of seeds, nuts, and herbs and can be found at http://mediterraneanmark.org/recipes1.htm.
