The Mediterranean diet is a diet inspired by the eating habits of Spain, Italy, and Greece in the 1960s and is said to be one of the healthiest ways of eating on earth.
Loaded with lots of veggies and plenty of healthy fat, following the Mediterranean way of eating nourishes the body and the soul – after all, the MOST important part of eating the way the Spaniards, Italians, and Greeks eat is ENJOYING and taking your time with your food. Relishing in every bite, smiling, laughing, and relaxing into your community.
Can we have more of that HERE, please?
No matter what, Mediterranean, HERE I COME!
