A Mediterranean dietary pattern (8Med
diet9) is typically one based on whole or
minimally processed foods. It9s rich in
protective foods (fruits, vegetables,
legumes, wholegrains, fish and olive oil)
and low in adverse dietary factors (fast
food, sugar-sweetened beverages,
refined grain products and processed or
energy-dense foods) with moderate red
meat and alcohol intake.
It has been associated with lower risk of
cardiovascular (CVD) and other chronic
diseases, primarily in Southern European
populations.
