The Mediterranean diet.
The “Mediterranean diet” is an umbrella term based on the traditional eating habits of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. There is no standard Mediterranean diet.

There are, however, common factors.
A Mediterranean-style diet typically includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, bread and other grains, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds;
olive oil as the primary fat source and dairy products, eggs, fish and poultry in small to moderate amounts.
Fish and poultry are more common than red meat in this diet. It also focuses on minimally processed plant foods. Wine can be consumed in small to moderate amounts, usually with meals. Fruit is a common dessert in place of sweets.
Year after year, the Mediterranean diet comes into tops the annual ranking of the best diets. It is considered one of the healthiest by many health organizations and dietitians.
This eating pattern can play an important role in preventing heart disease and stroke and reducing risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Spain's good health reflects some natural advantages, including a mild climate that has already convinced many Northern Europeans to retire there. The country prides itself on having good produce, which it promotes as part of its healthy Mediterranean diet.
