It thus combines certain ingredients with the climate, traditions, and cultures of Mediterranean countries. Olive oil, pasta, fruit, vegetables, fish, white and red meat, legumes, and wine are the basis of the Mediterranean diet. The word &#8220;diet&#8221; come from the Greek &#8220;diaita&#8221; that means &#8220;way of living&#8221;. It is thus a correct discipline that goes well with a healthy lifestyle. Since 1960&#8217;s, scientific research has proved that Mediterranean people enjoy better health conditions than people from Northern Europe. This is due to the use of olive oil, fish, pasta, fruit, and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Italy is undoubtedly the home of the Mediterranean diet.
