By Eleanor Macy

Compromising on your quality of life due to obesity or other weight-related issues?

The Mediterranean diet follows a lifestyle rather than being a set of restrictive diet instructions. The basis of the diet is from research that studied the people living in countries near the Mediterranean Sea who live longer and with a lower inclination to suffer from diseases like cancer and heart disease. Hence, the benefits of following the Mediterranean Diet can include weight loss, improve brain and heart health, cancer prevention as well as control and prevention of diabetes.

If you are considering making the switch to the Mediterranean diet but aren't sure how to go about it, the Mediterranean Diet Cookbook for Beginners will make the transition a smooth and enjoyable one for you.
