Aliquot #58: Eating a Mediterranean diet pattern for health and longevity
The Mediterranean diet pattern is rich in micronutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fish, and olive oil and has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other major causes of death. Dietary fiber, healthy fats, and minerals are foundational components of the diet that build and support healthy cells. In this Aliquot, featuring Drs. Bill Harris, Erica & Justin Sonnenburg, and Terry Wahls, we discuss how a Mediterranean diet pattern may improve health and promotes longevity.
