Multiple studies recommend various dietary regimes to prevent and effectively manage inflammation. There is however key elements all these studies agree on; a meal plan low in saturated fat, low in processed foods and high/rich in vegetables, fruits, beans and legumes, fish, seeds and nuts is excellent not just for inflammation prevention and management, but also optimal health and wellness. These are all traits of the Mediterranean diet.

The Mediterranean diet has over the years been proven to;
  • Lower Blood Pressure
  • Slow the aging process

  • Control Arthritis by curbing inflammation
  • Benefit the joints
  • It has also been proven over and over again to be excellent for heart health
  • Best for weight management and fat loss. Weight management has been proven to manage joint pain.
