If fresh, nutritious, flavorful, herbed and spiced foods along with a glass of red wine sounds like your kind of diet plan, check out the Mediterranean Diet.  The anchors of the plan are lean proteins like seafood and poultry, fresh produce, beans and legumes, olive oil, and low fat dairy products in moderation.  Modeled after the people groups that live around the Mediterranean Sea like the Greeks, Italians and Spaniards, this eating plan is easily a lifestyle of healthy choices coupled with real life solutions.  Meals aren’t boring, and because the body is receiving the nutrition it so desperately needs, you end up feeling satisfied.  The Mediterranean people value hard work, an active lifestyle, and good, healthy foods.  And don’t forget the red wine!  For those able to truly drink in moderation, this is a viable choice for heart health.
