Mediterranean diet is definitively linked to quality of life

Mediterranean diet is definitively linked to quality of life: For years the Mediterranean diet has been associated with a lesser chance of illness and increased well-being. A new study has now linked it to mental and physical health too. The Mediterranean diet, which is characterized by the consumption of fruit, vegetables, pulses (beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils) fish, olive oil and nuts, has been demonstrated to be beneficial to the health in terms of a lesser chance of chronic illness and a lower mortality rate. A new study has revealed that those who follow a Mediterranean diet score higher on a quality of life questionnaire than those who don't.
