Adopting the Mediterranean way of eating can increase the activity of your body immune system and help you reduce the risk of certain cancer types, heart diseases, the Parkinson’s disease as well as the Alzheimer’s disease. I’ve already written other articles about the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet and about the health benefits of consuming olive oil as part of this diet and why it is considered the magical oil.

Olive oil is a type of fat extracted from the olive tree which is a traditional tree from the Mediterranean basin. It is produced by crushing whole olive fruits before the oil is extracted by either chemical or mechanical procedures. The health benefits of olive oil are wide, a reason why it has been named the Mediterranean miracle. One of its main benefits is that it protects the body against skin, colon and breast cancer.  Olive oil is also capable of reducing type II diabetes by over 50%.

The Mediterranean diet represents a highly beneficial nutritional program originating in the Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Italy, Morocco and Spain and it is based on typical food patterns of these sunny places. It will help you lose weight, maintain optimum health and lower the risk of heart disorders, cancer, diabetes, premature death and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
