[P.S. I’ve updated the Mediterranean diet page. Have a look and read what’s new]

First of all I’ve learned that there is a lot of misinformation about what the Mediterranean diet really is.

A well balanced diet is crucial in preserving health and helping to reduce stress

1. First of all avoid all that Caffeine (coffees, tea, chocolate, coke, etc…). If you really need caffeine, please choose typical Italian espresso
2. Don’t think to drink Alcohol!! At least you can drink red wine…and your heart will thank you too…
3. Get out from that Sugar…if you need ready to burn energy please eat Honey.
4. [Warning]: Watch your heart. Don’t eat foods high in salt or fats. This can increase you blood pressure.
5. Help your serotonin. Eat more Carbohydrates…pasta and bread will be right
6. Stress result in cramps and constipation. So eat food high in fiber: Fruits, vegetables and grains are excellent

Follow these tips and maybe a day We could call you Mr. President!

If you were a caveman you could lower diabetes risks…but You live in a City and eat like a Mediterranean I’ve wrote some times ago, there are a lot of similarities with the Paleo diet and the Mediterranean diet.

They have the basis to eat:

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Nuts
• Little meats
• Fish

A research proved that the simple diet of the caveman is the “best choice to control diabetes 2”.

The study was conduced on 2 groups of participants who followed the Paleo diet and the Med diet for 3 months had these results. The Med diet group had a much higher intake of grains and dairy products.

The blood sugar rise in response to carbohydrate intake was markedly lower after 12 weeks in the Paleolithic group (–26%), while it barely changed in the-Mediterranean group (–7%).  At the end of the study, all patients in the Paleolithic group had normal blood glucose.

Substances in grains and dairy products have been shown to interfere with the metabolism of carbohydrates and fat in various studies.

Ok Maybe the paleo diet is more indicated for people with Diabetes 2 but…could you eat lean meat, sushi everyday and drink crude milk?
