- Abstract
Gaining and maintaining health is something that all people strive to achieve. With many scientific revelations about the health of the human body and many new and interesting ways to preserve health popping up in the market place there are old ways that are being revealed by new scientific evidence that may hold keys unpracticed by today's society. The Mediterranean diet (MD), a dietary and lifestyle pattern based around the Mediterranean basin, has been practiced for hundreds of years and its people that adhere to that pattern are statistically healthier than those people of western origin. It is on this premise that the MD should be considered as a clinical intervention for the main causes of death in the western world and a preventive measure for the same ailments.
