Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean diet is based on the dietary patterns of Mediterranean countries, mainly Greece and Southern Italy. (Wikipedia) It is not only a healthy diet, it is also very enjoyable, and would be easy for Americans to pick up. If consumed correctly it can offer many health benefits. It very accessible to most Americans; pretty much anything in this diet can be found in your nearest supermarket. There is a low consumption of animals so by doing this diet, you reduce your contribution to the industrialized killing and horrible treatment of animals. This diet is a very good way for people to eat.
The Mediterranean diet consists of eating large amounts of fruits and vegetables, healthy fats such as olive oil and canola oil, small amounts of nuts, red wine, very little amounts of red meat, and eating fish on a regular basis. The fruits and vegetables themselves are already considered very healthy as well as enjoyable. The “healthy fats,” which include olive oil, canola oil, and walnuts, contain the omega-3 fatty acids that Americans are so concerned about getting. A light intake of red wine helps prevent blood clotting. Fish is eaten on a regular basis, and it also contains the omega-3 fatty acids. (MayoClinic) As can be seen from the information here, this is a very healthy diet.
This diet is easily accessible for most Americans. Anything for this diet can be bought at nearly any supermarket. All anyone really needs to do is be an informed consumer and smart shopper. One should buy (or grow their own) fresh fruits and vegetables, reduce their intake of red meat, and eat fish at least once a week. One must also keep away from saturated fat and trans fat. (MayoClinic) This is all relatively simple and easy to do, which proves its availability to people.
Because of its low intake of red meat, anyone on this diet contributes less to the cruel treatment and killing of animals, and the worker issues that are involved with the factories that produce the meat. This makes this diet more ethically correct than most American diets.
In conclusion, this diet can be a very successful one. It has the health benefits of the omega-3 acids and the heart-healthy benefits of red wine. It is easily accessible to pretty much everyone, and is more ethically correct than most American diets. The Mediterranean diet is a very good way for people to eat.
