Oldways created the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid in 1993 (with the WHO and the Harvard School of Public Health). Since then, we’ve been actively promoting the science behind the Mediterranean Diet’s health benefits and educating people about the delicious foods of the Mediterranean region.
Evidence shows that following the Med Diet can help you achieve weight management goals, lower your risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, fight certain cancers and chronic diseases, avoid diabetes, and more. Plus: It’s easy, affordable, and delicious!
