The unfortunate reality with most Americans is that they tend to want their food and some of the most processed an unhealthy formats. They don't want to eat fiber in its whole, natural form; they wanted condensed down into a pill or somehow magically put into their french fries or burgers. And as far as protein goes you can forget anything that is all-natural; they want it from a meat-based source.

Most nutritional experts around the world admit that they are rather disgusted and terrified of the typical American diet, mostly due to the detrimental side effects. As a matter of fact, most professional nutritionist admit that they wish the average American would stop eating processed foods and instead opt for a whole food diet plan, such as the Mediterranean Diet, which is a completely whole food eating plan.

There have been thousands of studies done over the years which specifically relate to the Mediterranean diet and the food which the people of the Mediterranean region consume on a daily basis as part of their staple diet. The most commonly known aspect is the reduced mortality rates that relate to heart disease and cardiovascular issues, but the Mediterranean diet also has lower risks of cancer and other serious issues related to obesity.

In fact, there are very few diets in the world which have been studied as thoroughly as the Mediterranean diet has been, nor are there any other diets in the world which have such an ample amount of evidence in regards to positive health changes. Even so, there are still a number of questions that scientists have not been able to answer despite the advances in technology, such as why it is exactly that the combination of elements within the Mediterranean diet work as well as they do.

At the end of the day there is really only one thing that you need to understand about the Mediterranean diet, and that is the simple fact that it works because nature intended it to work. We don't have to understand everything about planet Earth to continue to live in harmony with nature and various plants and animals which make up the ecosystem. All that really matters is that we find a way to achieve perfect health and wellness through a symbiotic relationship with whole foods and natural living.
