The Mediterranean Diet

Discover the delicious way to eat for better health, more energy and a longer life, with The Mediterranean Diet, brought to you by Prevention Australia.

Consistently ranked as one of the healthiest eating patterns in the world, the Mediterranean diet isn’t about counting kilojoules, cutting out entire food groups or following restrictive rules. Instead, it’s a simple, sustainable way of eating built around fresh, wholesome ingredients that nourish both body and mind. Backed by decades of scientific research, the Mediterranean diet has been linked to better heart and brain health, healthy weight management and a reduced risk of chronic conditions including type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
