Q. What are the countries of Southern Europe? Why is the Mediterranean Diet considered âhealthyâ?
A. I would make the difference here between Southern Europe and South-Eastern Europe. South-Eastern Europe is the whole Balkan peninsula (Greece, a part of Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania and ex-Yugoslavia); but Southern Europe is usually considered to be Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal). Cyprus is geographically not in Europe, but geopolitically it is, so OK you can add it.
The diet is healthy because they eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil, sea food etc.

What should be included or excluded to get a "Mediterranean diet"?
Q. I know a Mediterranean diet is basically rich in tomatoes and olive oil, pasta, and salads. I don't know about their saturated fat intake but they seem to be big on cheese and cold cuts. But what about spices. Maybe they have less heart trouble because of something in the spice category? Or is it just the olive oil? What spices are common in such Mediterranean diets?
A. My wife started us on what she calls a Mediterranean diet. She says we don't eat meat, or poultry. In our version is fish, fruit, vegetables and whole grain. Common spices are basil, cilantro, curries. dill
Think less heart trouble is a combination of all.
She also has us on fat binders to reduce or fat intake.
