What is a Mediterranean diet? (Part 1 of 3)

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes the use of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and legumes. It includes low-fat or fat-free dairy products, fish, poultry, non-tropical vegetable oils, and nuts but also limits added sugars, sugary beverages, sodium, highly processed foods, refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, and fatty or processed meats.
