An eating style for every body...
MEDITERRANEAN DIET
Many studies have shown that the Mediterranean Diet can support effective weight loss and help prevent heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes and premature death. It’s based on traditional foods enjoyed by people in countries along the Mediterranean coastline, like Italy and Greece.
Research has shown that these people are healthier compared to Americans and present a low risk of many lifestyle diseases. This guide will offer the foundations of the Mediterranean Diet, which can be custom- ized according to your needs tastes and preferences. The benefits of the diet include feeling satisfied and full while enjoying wonderful flavors.
DASH DIET
The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is an option for people looking to prevent or treat high blood pressure and reduce their risk of heart disease.
It was created after researchers discovered that high blood pressure was much less common in people who followed a plant-based diet, such as vegans and vegetarians. Scientists believe that one of the main reasons people with high blood pressure can benefit from this diet is because it reduces salt intake.
KETO DIET
The ketogenic diet consists of very low-carb, high fat foods. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain.
Ketogenic diets can cause significant reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has some health benefits. The information presented here mostly applies to the standard ketogenic diet (SKD), although many of the same principles also apply to the other versions.
THE FLEXITARIAN DIET
The Flexitarian (a combination of “flexible” and “vegetarian”) Diet serves to strike a healthy balance, allowing people to reap the benefits of vegetarian eating while still enjoying animal products in moderation.
There are no hard and fast rules characteristic of most diets. It’s considered to be more of a healthy lifestyle than a diet. Eating flexitarian may support weight loss and reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. It may even be good for the planet. Overall, the goal is to eat more nutritious plant-based foods and less meat.
