What are the benefits for eating mediterranean food?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

In the Mediterranean countries people eat a lot of vegetables and get their proteins from mainly beans, lentils and nuts, instead of meat. here in Greece where I live we often have several vegetable dishes for dinner. You′ll find that you′ll get tons of energy. The best effect is long term: You′ll reduce you chances for many serious illnesses. The Greek Mediterranean diet is supposed to be one of the healthiest diets in the world.
Good luck!

Lots of tomatoes, green peppers, kale, olive oil [for everything, even baked goods], and the most marvelous ethnic foods & recipes you ever saw. Benefits? My so-called "coronary diet" reads like a shopping list for a Mediterranean market...onions, garlics, greens, "red things" like peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, brown rice or bulghour or cous-cous, pasta in lieu of potatoes, etc. Couldn't go wrong. Google up Greek, Armenian or Italian recipe suggestions and go for it.
