Answer to Question 1

The Mediterranean diet refers to the nutritional habits of people living in Greece, France, Italy, and other countries around the Mediterranean Sea. Only a fraction of the heart disease and related deaths experienced by people living in Western, industrial countries like the United States is seen in these particular countries.

The traditional Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, and beans, whereas most American diets include much more meat and other animal products known to be high in saturated fat. Thus, the Mediterranean diet is high in the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals that keep bodies healthy and low in saturated fat, because Mediterranean people consume so little meat and butter.
