The Mediterranean diet is a dietary pattern inspired by the traditional eating habits of Greece, Italy, Spain, and other regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea during the mid-20th century. It emphasizes a high consumption of plant-based foods, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and nuts, alongside olive oil as the primary source of fat, and moderate amounts of fish, dairy, and poultry. The diet is widely recognized for its numerous health benefits, particularly in promoting cardiovascular health.
