Journal Title: Human & Veterinary Medicine - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The culinary pattern is close related to health. The elderly represent a special category if we take in consideration their nutrient need. The Mediterranean diet represents a lifestyle followed by centuries by the population around the Mediterranean Basin. The main characteristic is the high intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, olive oil and the low intake of fat cheese and red meat. This diet meets the required culinary needs of elderly for a healthy aging. Numerous studies have shown the beneficial role of the Mediterranean diet for longevity and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
