How to Start the Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean Diet has been scientifically proven to have numerous benefits for your body, mind, and spirit. If you are born in a Mediterranean country, you would get it by birth, or if you lived there for an extended period, you would absorb it osmotically. However, if you are not from the region, have never been there, or do not intend to visit, you may wonder if trying a few recipes from the internet can help you get started. Unfortunately, the truth is that they will not be able to help you significantly.

If you want to lead a healthier lifestyle, you need to have a plan!

Meals for Longevity offers a healthy dietary lifestyle with international recipes inspired by Italian centenarians. Recipes are organized according to the latest Mediterranean Diet Pyramid.
