Our adherence to the traditional Mediterranean diet significantly influences our health status and serves as a preventive measure against complex diet-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and type II diabetes. The traditional Mediterranean diet is associated with improved longevity and well-being because it positively affects numerous biological pathways in our body, including gene expression.
The Mediterranean diet is more than a diet: it is a lifestyle. A sustainable lifestyle that promotes sustainable consumption, of local and seasonal products and it is mainly plant-based. Also, the Mediterranean diet is the only dietary pattern that meets all criteria of a sustainable diet such as locality, seasonality, sociality and plant-based consumption.
Despite its health and planetary benefits, the Mediterranean diet has been abandoned by the Mediterranean countries vs Northerner European countries that have recently presented greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet following the latest scientific guidelines. As a consequence, in countries such as Spain and Greece, we observe increased numbers of obesity in adults and adolescents and dietary patterns that have nothing to do with the traditional Mediterranean diet.

Dr. Valentini Konstantinidou, a renowned, Greek researcher and registered dietitian-nutritionist helps you identify the steps needed to achieve high adherence to the traditional Mediterranean diet.
