Healthy living starts in your mouth
A report based on several studies has hinted at a possible correlation between a Mediterranean diet and a reduction in mortality related to cardiovascular disease, cancer and even some neurological disorders. There are always limitations with these types of findings as they are based on a compilation of studies. However, time and again, the Mediterranean diet seems to be associated with good health. Specifically, they found a 9% reduction in overall mortality and a 13% reduction in incidences Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s.
One important caveat to this study and the Mediterranean diet in general is the risk associated with alcohol consumption. There are significant hazards associated with alcohol and certain people should abstain from drinking altogether.
