May is #MedMonth – Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet

Happy #MedMonth! The Mediterranean-style eating pattern has been shown to promote health and decrease risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Eating the Mediterranean way is not only healthy, it is delicious and satisfying. Foods that you once thought of as too high in fat or unhealthy, including nuts, olive oil, olives, and whole grains, become an everyday part of your diet. This webinar mini-series demonstrates simple steps to eating the Med way by making easy changes to the foods you eat.

Follow us this month as we celebrate #MedMonth on Twitter and Facebook. Additional resources for eating the Med way, as well as Med recipes, can be found at medinsteadofmeds.com.
