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 can you tell me about the Mediterranean Diet?
Q. I am interested in anything you can tell me. The doctor said it would be good for my heart and my health. So the more you can tell me the better.
Thank you.

A. It is a diet high in wine and fruits and and vegetables with legumes it became really popular in the 1990's I remember going on it for a while. Wikipedia has a pretty good article on it. Good luck
