Book Description

We always hear about the health benefits of a Mediterranean diet, but do we really know what Mediterranean foods to cook or eat? When asked that question, most people may tick off olive oil, olives, walnuts, vegetables, and fruits, but most have little idea how to incorporate these items into a regular diet. Dr. Theo Christodoulakis, a practicing physician in Arizona with a doctorate in naturopathic medicine, explains what a Mediterranean diet is and why those who embrace it enjoy reduced incidents of cardiovascular and chronic diseases-even if they consume increased amounts of fat and animal proteins. Filled with tasty recipes and practical advice, this handbook will help you live a longer and healthier life by enjoying healthy and flavorsome foods.
