Following a Mediterranean diet has a wide range of health benefits, including:
- Improve Cognitive Function: The Mediterranean diet promotes healthy aging by promoting “good” gut bacteria. It reduces inflammation and contributes to good brain health.
- Reduce Inflammatory Markers: The Mediterranean diet is rich in anti-inflammatory foods, such as vegetables, fruits, olive oil, nuts, and fish. It can help to reduce chronic inflammation and related health issues.
- Good for Your Heart: The Mediterranean diet is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases than in many other countries. This is likely due to the high content of monounsaturated fat from olive oil which does not raise cholesterol levels like saturated and trans fats do.
- Weight Loss: The Mediterranean diet encourages smaller portion sizes and emphasizes the importance of enjoying healthy and nutritious foods. This can lead to weight loss and a healthier body weight.
- Good for Your Pocket: The Mediterranean diet is based on affordable and widely available ingredients like vegetables (onions, carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers). Also, beans, legumes, pasta, and cheese. This makes it a budget-friendly option for a healthy diet.

Amazing teacher – great, useful skills were learnt. The delivery of the class was really impressive and the teacher was willing to answer all the questions we asked. I really enjoyed this Mediterranean class – it was informal, very friendly and very well run.
