Doctors back the Mediterranean Diet as a sure way to improve health

Doctors writing an editorial in November’s issue of the Postgraduate Medical Journal have argued that the “obesity epidemic and its associated adverse health consequences is one of today's important public health challenges”. They reason that we often make  decisions on the food we buy and eat are on auto-pilot, but that if we regularly followed the principles of the Mediterranean Diet, it would be a sure way to improve health. Research has shown that people eat the traditional diet of the Mediterranean region appear to have lower rates heart disease and diabetes compared to that generally found in northern Europe and America.
