Mediterranean Shrimp Information
The Mediterranean Diet, widely regarded as one of the world’s healthiest diets, inspired this Shrimp Mediterranean dish.
There are many causes for this. The significance of diet was recognized by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Grain was the mainstay of their diet. Then there were the fresh vegetables and fruits, which were plentiful in the area.
Olives were also abundant, which they ground into olive oil and utilized in their cooking and as a bread dip.
And, of course, because of the Mediterranean Sea, there was plenty of seafood.
We now know that the health benefits of this diet include a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Furthermore, this diet improves your brain’s performance. What could possibly be better?
Except maybe to shed some weight, which this diet really helps with.
I guess I’ve always eaten this way since I’m a huge fan of veggies and seafood.
I haven’t followed the Mediterranean diet as strictly as they do, and the more I learn about it, the more I realize I made a mistake.
Grains are not only nutritious, but they also help to relieve tension.
