What exactly is in the Mediterranean diet?

Q. I know what to eat daily, weekly, and monthly, but what specific kinds of veggies nuts and grains were they eating?

My mom's going shopping, and I want to put together a list of healthy nuts and grains.

A. The Mediterranean diet is actually a diet the comprises lots of vegetables, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits and olive oil. It also contains dairy products like cheese, wine, fish and red meat, though in smaller amount compared to the first group mentioned earlier. There are no specific nuts or grains to go for. Just include more in-season whole products (not highly processed types with lots of additives, salt and what have you) you can find into your diet.

According to studies, the Mediterranean diet has anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive effects. An adaptation of the Mediterranean diet is the anti-inflammatory diet which you can find out more from the second link below.

How can the mediterranean diet be good for people with bad hearts allows cheese?
Q. i always thought cheese or any type of sold/fats was one of the worse things for hearts.

A. Too much cheese is bad for the heart, but the Mediterranean diet isn't just cheese.

There is a lot of garlic, vinegar, olive oil, red wine, tomatoes, lean meats and fish which are all conducive to a healthy heart.

Also, the Mediterranean diet is generally free of the growth hormones so common in Western meats that are passed on to the consumer and are, in great part, causing the epidemic of obesity in America and Europe.
