WHY AM I DOING THIS?

I am doing this because nutrition, diet, and exercise are
thing we can actually control.  If we educate ourselves and.  the next generation, we have a much better chance at a higher quality of life for a longer duration, and also less expensive government.  The way things are, health care costs are  
skyrocketing.  If we get healthier, costs will go down, taxes will fall, and we'll all be happier all around!

Interesting … the claims

The Mediterranean dietary pattern, through a healthy profile of fat intake, low proportion of carbohydrate, low glycemic index, high content of dietary fiber, antioxidant compounds, and anti-inflammatory effects, reduces the risk of certain pathologies, such as cancer or Cardiovascular Disease (CVD).

The inclusion of foods typical of the Mediterranean diet and greater adherence to this healthy pattern was related to a better nutrient profile, both in children and adults, with a lower prevalence of individuals showing inadequate intakes of micronutrients.

We’ll be reviewing this and related studies in the overall evaluation …
