The Mediterranean diet has been scientifically proven to be the best diet in the world, and this is because of it being plant based. It contains a lot of vegetables, fruits, plant proteins, whole grains and plant derived oils and fats.
Plant based diets have nutrients that no other food can provide:
- They are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, minerals and vitamins
- They help maintain weight as they are mostly low calorie dense
- They add fibre, both soluble and insoluble. There is conclusive evidence to support the benefits of fibre for health.
- They are proven to reduce the risk of Non communicable diseases, improve immunity and protect against infections
