RESEARCHERS LEARNED that people that live on the European coast of the Mediterranean Sea known as Côte d'Azur have a low incidence of heart disease, stroke, cholesterol, Type 2 Diabetes when compared with most people in the world. Studies done at the University of Florence have shown that meals on the French Côte d'Azur has more health benefits than originally anticipated.
At that same university, researchers carried out another study lasting 18 years. They wanted to confirm if people offered the Mediterranean Diet would stay on it or if they would abandon it. 18 years later, the health of those who stayed on it and those who abandon it were assessed. Researchers confirmed that those who stayed with the French Mediterranean Diet had significantly reduced risks to serious illnesses such as ~but not limited to~ cancer, heart desease, Parkinson & Alzheimer Diseases, Type 2 Diabetes.
Recently, in the French regions of Bourdeaux and Dijon, one study carried out by Molecular Nutrition and Food Research involving 840 people older than 65 years without dementia has arrived to a conclusion: older people consuming the French Mediterranean Diet are at a much lower risk of cognitive decline.
The French Mediterranean Diet is known outside France, but it is unknown within France. French people eat meals loaded with nutrients from fruits, vegetables, herbs, grains, garlic, nuts, olive oil, omega fatty acids from fish; to mention some. They do so since they stop sucking milk out of their mother's breasts.
It is not a 'diet.' It is an utterly wise 'Way Of Life' of those who are more evolved.
