FARIS, STEPHAN. "Eat Like An Italian." Time 179.7 (2012): 1-4. Academic Search Premier. Web. 27 Feb. 2012.

According to Laura Di Renzo, a nutritionist at Rome's Tor Vergata University, the Mediterranean diet is more effective than a low-fat diet at minimizing heart attacks and strokes and better than a reduced-carbohydrate diet at cutting the risk of diabetes.

Compared with people in other countries, those in Italy who followed a diet rich in vegetables, legumes and olive oil were 30% to 40% less likely to suffer heart disease than those who consumed heavy quantities of red meat, milk and cheese.

The Mediterranean diet, it turns out, was a product of poverty.

Gone are the whole-wheat bread baked in a wood-fire stove, the beans slow-cooked in a clay amphora and garnished with herbs picked from the fields that morning. Also absent are the frequent servings of fresh vegetables, dried fruits and nuts. There's still plenty of olive oil, but with it come large quantities of whole milk, cheese, eggs and meat, not to mention junk food.

The Mediterranean diet could be slipping away.

Choosing foods like cranberries that contain more potassium than sodium is one way to help maintain healthy blood pressure levels.

Maintaining healthy blood pressure levels can help reduce risk of stroke, one form of heart disease. Sodium and potassium are two minerals related to blood pressure control.
