When in Rome...
Health Notes from Dr. Liz
Eat like they do in Rome and for that matter, other Mediterranean countries like Greece and Spain. Research studies suggest Mediterranean–based diets improve heart health, lower risk of developing diabetes and even delay onset of dementia. Typical local fare includes these simple staples from various Mediterranean regions such as olives, vegetables, fish, nuts, cheese and fruit. All of these foods supply crucial nutrients, a good balance of healthy fats and special phytonutrients that help bolster your body’s “amour” to everyday living. Prepare Mediterranean–inspired meals using these simple foods and eat as they do in Rome.
