Everything about The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid totally explained
The
Mediterranean Diet Pyramid is a
nutrition guide that was developed by
Oldways, the
Harvard School of Public Health, and the
World Health Organization in
1993. It refers to the traditional
Mediterranean Diet pattern of eating, suggesting the types and frequency of foods that should be enjoyed every day.
The diet is closely tied traditionally to areas of
olive oil cultivation in the Mediterranean region.
The pyramid, structured in light of current nutrition research and representing a healthy, traditional Mediterranean diet, is based on the dietary traditions of
Crete,
Greece and southern
Italy circa 1960 at a time when the rates of chronic disease were among the lowest in the world, and adult life expectancy was among the highest, even though medical services were limited. These findings were established in large part by scientist
Ancel Keys.
The pyramid is divided into daily, weekly, and monthly frequencies, but doesn't recommend serving sizes.
Extensive nutrition science research has concluded that the Mediterranean diet consumption pattern promotes good health and longevity. Studies linking the Mediterranean diet and decreased risk of illnesses such as
lung disease and
Alzheimer’s disease, as well as protection against
allergies and
asthma have been published. Further information about these can be seen in the references below.
