The Mediterranean Diet: What Your Heart Desires | Julia Zumpano, RD

[@Sapphire37.]

Very helpful information, thank you.

[@naturesvisualcandy5555]

Also when I ate too many raw fruits or veggies in the winter I get to tend to get cold then usual. So I reduce the amount of raw Fruita and veggies in the winter.

[@verogarrcia7]

Can you eat cooked veggies? Having a mixed of cooked/raw is perfectly acceptable.

[@naturesvisualcandy5555]

@@verogarrcia7 yes cooked could be better

[@JulieConkle]

People are still afraid of fat. Good fats are NOT bad for you.

[@arihaviv8510]

Hence the olive oil fatty fish and nuts

[@Notwoke7]

So, what I hear is expensive! I recently heard a podcast that said fruits and vegetables are losing their nutritious potency. I wonder, is this true?

[@JulieConkle]

Big G (Government) does not want us healthy. They've been messing with our food, the weather, you name it, for a long time.

[@Aname-hk4bu]

Spices and parsley

People in the blue zones don't use skim milk or 1% milk. I'm Italian. So I don't agree with the RD's out dated information on low fat.

[@arihaviv8510]

Mediterranean diet is based on Crete

[@AngieLyke]

​@@arihaviv8510 partially correct it's based on a Greece Italy Spain nations in the middle east like Lebanon. And if you ask someone from Italy play with no best with the traditional Mediterranean diets for their Nation. From what I understand they are slowly moving away from that. Keep in mind it's not just a diet. Italians go out and walk for an hour every day as a family. As neighbors.

I'm sure this is meant to be an overview, not an in depth presentation. Vegetables and fruits can be washed effectively with a home made wash.

Study showing the foods that are actually anti inflammatory proved by blood test markers?

Can you use almond flour in recipes?

[@ceerez1002]

yes 100x better than wheat flour or the other flour she mentioned

[@delaville680]

​@@ceerez1002except it is omega 6 fatty acid heavy. Not the best.

It’s hard to find fish that isn’t farm raised ☹️

[@Udoshia]

Sam’s club has lots of wild caught

[@arihaviv8510]

Farmed fish is more sustainable...ever get anything else that doesn't come from a farm?

[@verogarrcia7]

that’s perfectly fine. Think abt the other meats u purchase that also come from a farm. Farm raised just makes it readily accessible. I can understand not everyone may agree with purchasing farm raised fish.

[@sabrennuahs]

A good diet for us " old timers " ! Fruits and veggies, some fish and some meat.........but no red meat for me !

[@kristijanakristijanic]

White meat have saturated fat too! Dr. M. Greger(wfpb)❤

[@naturesvisualcandy5555]

Isn't full fat grass fed dairy better because the omega 3 benefits your brain and fats needed for your body. I know too much sugar is definitely not good. 👍

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Dairy doesn’t have omega 3 in it.

[@naturesvisualcandy5555]

@@ALT-vz3jn Grass fed should have some look it up

[@TimGreigPhotography]

Most of the fish she mentioned aren't in the Med. Salmon 🤣. Most of the countries surrounding the south and west are poor green vegetable producers also. Lots of beans, pulses etc though.

[@Notwoke7]

And beans are not good for arthritis. Nor are tomatoes

[@mariamunguia8863]

Exactly even eating chicken makes me blow up with inflammation on my joints, so not everybody can follow this type of diet no no no

[@TimGreigPhotography]

What itge s obsession with Greek" yoghurt? All countries around the world have a healthy cultured milk product

[@Notwoke7]

I can't stand Greek yogurt and I will never eat it! Our local grocery store hardly has any choices of regular yogurt anymore

Who can afford fish three times a week?!

[@davidcolman1766]

Most people. Check out canned sardines

[@tiffanynichole7269]

Fish is expensive! Eating canned fish more than once a week cannot be good! I’ll just try to minimize meat all together

[@carolbenson6524]

Canned anchovies, sardines, tuna and Salmon!

[@Master_Timothy]

You can get 2 lbs of salmon for under 20 bucks. That's eight 4oz servings. Doable for most people.

[@margielynch1465]

I buy it frozen, wild caught

[@samiam8114]

What about eggs? Not egg whites but whole eggs.

[@NatureScapesStudio]

Whole eggs are VERY healthy for you.

[@MartianAmbassador69]

Who are these children that have strong opinions on, and can't get passed, fish 😂

[@mariamunguia8863]

Do you want to add more vegetables to our plate full of pesticides great idea glyphosate on your plate!!😮

[@Donna-cozydecor]

Buy organic!

[@NatureScapesStudio]

@@Donna-cozydecorproblem is g g finding the organic that is truly organic. Sprays from nearby farms drift onto organic farms. Until we demand the blocking of using those sprays then are we truly getting organic?
