Live Longer - Follow the Mediterranean Diet!

Do you want to live a life free from Heart Disease? Would you like to have someone you love reduce their chances of having heart disease. Are you interested in heart disease prevention? If you answered "yes" to either of these two questions then you should consider adopting the Mediterranean Diet. Medical studies have shown again and again the virtues of following the Mediterranean Diet as far as reducing your risk of getting heart disease or suffering a heart attack. A medical study in the Archives of Internal Medicine in May of 2005, looked at over 1,302 Greek men and women who were followed for 3.78 years to examine how critical it was to follow the diet closely. Those people who had closely followed the diet had a 27% reduction in death when compared to people who didn't follow the diet closely. Heart disease prevention was proven by following this healthy heart diet. Stress and chest pain are also linked. People who follow this diet reduce their chest pain. Not long ago I was going through the diet of a man in his 60's who had suffered a heart attack. I had been seeing him for over seven years. Each visit I encouraged him to follow the Mediterranean Diet. On his last visit I asked him to tell me everything he had eaten in the last week. I was shocked to discover that he was eating ice cream nearly everyday. I asked him, "Haven't I talked to you numerous times about the importance of following the Mediterranean Diet?" A sheepish look, crossed his face. "Yes, you've told me that. But I love ice cream."
