A Mediterranean Diet is well-established for it’s health benefits. Nutrient-rich foods, healthy fats, and a variety of quality proteins provide well-balanced nutrition.
Study-after-study has shown a Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of many chronic illnesses including heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, and cancer. A recent Forbes article also outlines several benefits while suggesting doctors might not be equipped to support their patients with making these healthy changes.
Well, look no further. I’ve travelled to over 18 different Mediterranean regions in pursuit of regional flavors, recipes, and culinary traditions. My passion for nutrition and cultural associations to food is the basis for the NourishMyWorld blog.
As an accredited Nutritional Therapist, I also evaluate these foods with my nutritional-science background to share their health benefits.
I truly love the Mediterranean region’s broad variety, including regionally-diverse dishes and flavors that can be easily explored from within your own kitchen. Family and friends also gather around the table together daily to share a meal. So I believe there’s a tremendous beauty across these cultures, where food serves as an instrument for connection.
The goal of NourishMyWorld is to share information that I’ve gathered both on-the-road and in-the-classrom. I believe this information can help us establish healthy dietary habits. When we create the foundation for a healthy diet, these changes often have a more profound influence, that can reshape our enter ‘way of life.”
I hope you’ll enjoy sharing this journey!
To your health,
Candice
