This book is an exploration of the value that the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle can bring to everyone, young and old. From its origins in Ancient Greece to the modern day understanding we now have of its benefits, this book joins the dots to show the power and benefits of the Mediterranean diet. A key focus of the book is to explain in accessible, easy-to-understand language the science which underpins the Mediterranean diet and its positive impact on heart health, longevity and protection from inflammation, heart disease, cancers, dementia and more. From polyphenols and macronutrients to the multitude of available ingredients and how to combine them builds to an understanding of way food is prepared, cooked and combined to maximise the positive effects. These topics and more are covered in a clear, concise and easily digestible format to suit any reader. The Real Mediterranean Diet also includes numerous recipes from leading chefs from around the globe who are advocates of the Mediterranean Diet, including US-based celebrity chefs Maria Loi and Amy Riolo, renowned Lebanese chef and television personality Joe Barza, Tokyo-based chef Yurie Honda, Chilean celebrity chef Pilar Rodriguez, Sereen Kurdi who is head chef to Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein, and numerous others. Key Features & Benefits of the Book * Written by a practising doctor with experience in seeing patients benefit from his Mediterranean Diet advice. * Accessible to all - a coffee table book that avoids complicated and heavy medical and scientific language but doesn't shy away from a comprehensive exploration of the Mediterranean Diet. * A positive view on nutrition that is focussed on long-lasting benefits and lifestyle change, rather than Dare I Eat That (DIET). * Gives a detailed account of all aspects of the Mediterranean Diet and its benefits, from types of foods and ingredients to drilling down the science in a simple and accessible way revealing how to access its power. * Diverse range of recipes and insights from chefs from around the world demonstrates the Mediterranean Diet's global nature. * The first book to really explain the role of polyphenols and their ability to reduce inflammation through antioxidants. * Answers the questions like, "Which honey or olive oil should I buy, and why?", "Why do they dip bread and drizzle pasta with olive oil, apart from the taste?" and "Why are we encouraged to 'eat a rainbow'?"
