More than 200 men and women who were at moderate risk of heart disease were divided into two groups: one was assigned to eat a Mediterranean diet while the other one was assigned to eat low-fat diet for three months. People on Mediterranean diet were instructed to eat fish four times a week and red meat only once a week. Red wine is allowed with daily two glasses for men and one glass for women. For people on the low-fat diet, they were asked to eat poultry instead of beef, port or mutton; and fish two or three times a week, and were encouraged to eat fruit and vegetables, low-fat daily products and vegetable oils.

Centuries before Christ, the area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea was colonized by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Roman, who shared a basic cultivation of wheat, olives, and grapes. These were later used to produce bread, oil, and wine - 3 components that are still very important in today’s Mediterranean diet. When one talks about Mediterranean food, fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs are immediately spring to mind. Olive oil, the core element that makes Mediterranean food so popular nowadays, contains a high proportion of mono-unsaturated oil.
