List of popular ingredients of the Mediterranean diet

The fact that the Mediterranean diet is healthy has been written many times. Scientists are systematically conducting various studies on the effects of this diet on human organisms. In recent weeks, the results of studies have been published, the subject of which was the impact of the Mediterranean diet on the level of sugar in the blood.

The results suggest that the Mediterranean diet improves glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes. Compared to the control group, the subjects showed a reduction in fasting glucose, a reduction in body mass index (BMI) and cholesterol levels. At the same time, a drop in blood pressure was observed.

So what do the Greeks eat that their diet works in such a beneficial way? It is known that the most effective combination of these components that interact with each other creates new compounds that positively affect organisms. Below you will find a list of products that form the basis of the Mediterranean diet:

  1. Olive oil is the basis of the Mediterranean diet. In Greece used everywhere and for everything. Its pro-health properties are already widely known. Greek olive oil is one of the best and this is confirmed by many awards and distinctions gained at various competitions.
  2. Dried oregano - one of the most popular herbs, and at the same time one of the richest sources of antioxidants, so it's worth to include it in your daily diet and use it for seasoning dishes.

  3. Greek yoghurt - a rich source of calcium and protein, containing beneficial bacterial strains, supports the work of the immune system and regulates digestion. When buying yogurt it is necessary to look at the list of ingredients, it has no right to contain gelatin or other thickeners.
  4. Garlic is the same benefits, because it not only protects the heart and has anti-cancer properties, but also perfectly highlights the taste of dishes.

  7. Sardines and anchovies - these small fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which protect the heart, maintain adequate blood sugar levels and protect the joints.

Surprising research on vegetable food in Greece

Surprising research on vegetable food in Greece

Greek diet is associated with a healthy diet based primarily on a large amount of vegetables and fruits. The health benefits of its use have been the subject of many scientific studies, which confirm the very beneficial effect of the components consumed in this diet on general health. It might seem, therefore, that the Greeks are a very healthy nation in that case. Nothing could be more wrong, as many of them have fundamentally changed their eating habits and behaviors.

Mediterranean diet - a good life after 70 years

We have been writing about the health-promoting properties of the Mediterranean diet on our website many times. So far, various types of scientific studies have pointed mainly to the links between the Mediterranean diet and the smaller incidence of specific diseases. However, the results of the research recently published by the Annals of Internal Medicine also show the beneficial effects of this diet on better quality of health after the age of 70.

Karob - the forgotten treasure of Crete

Carob is otherwise the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) or carob tree found among others in the countries of the Mediterranean Basin, India, the Middle East or Australia. This evergreen and heat-resistant tree grows both wild and cultivated. Before sugarcane reeds and beets were disseminated, carob fruit was the main source of sugar due to its nearly 50% sugar content.

To lotnisko to stan umysłu
Lotnisko w Hanii jest o niebo lepsze ,Heraklion to małe piekiełko .
Wspominam koszmarnie, popsute pasy transmisyjne do transportu walizek, galop wokół budynku żeby zdać walizkę ręcznie, gigantyczna kolejka na zewnątrz, w upale, bez wody. W ogole kolejki wszędzie, potem kilka odlotow z jednej bramki, totalny bałagan, tłok, brak miejsca żeby usiąść, nawet na podłodze.
Ma swój urok
Ja się zgadzam to lotnisko nie ogarnia .Jest za małe na tak dużą rzesze turystów . Tylko tam siedzieliśmy w samolocie a byliśmy z 15 do startu z tego samego pasa co inne samoloty. A jak przylecieliśmy to krążyliśmy nad lotniskiem bo też wszyscy na jednym pasie wylądować nie mogli .
Super
Może miałam szczęście, ale zawsze było w porządku.
Ja to się tak czasem zastanawiam, jakich wodotryków oczekuje turysta po lotnisku.. czysty kibel, sprawna obsługa podróżnych, dobry dojazd - także transportem publicznym - i działająca klimatyzacja (w krajach południowych) lub ogrzewanie (na północy) to zupełnie wystarczające udogodnienia.. przecież lotnisko to nie hotel..
Tak, to lotnisko jest zdecydowanie za małe na obecne potrzeby. Byliśmy na nim 8 razy. W tym roku mam wrażenie że liczbę pasażerów można porównać do lotniska Chopina. Co gorsze, nie działa klimatyzacja, ludzie siedzieli na podłodze i wachlowali się gazetami, łazienki są w fatalnym stanie (brak desek, awarie, brak mydła i papieru oraz brak klamki - wzajemnie z inną panią trzymałysmy sobie drzwi).
Od mojego pierwszego pobytu na Krecie jest lepiej, sprawniej idzie odprawa i poprawiły się warunki w hali odlotow
Serio?
Uwielbiam oliwki i oliwę z nich
Kreta z Sołtysową: Wczoraj w Falasarna
Bardzo ładnie
Patrząc okiem turysty nie podoba mi się ten plan.To miejsce historyczne i w takim klimacie powinno zostać. Napewno są powody dla których prąd jest tam potrzebny .Nie wyobrażam sobie jednak ,,podświetlonej,,Spinalongi tak jak Akropol w Atenach.
Ładnie to wygląda
Włączajcie ogrzewanie?
Det ved vi godt
To że nie otworzą w ciągu 2 lat było oczywiste, ale to że odkopano archeolo dopiero przedłuży remont Agory. Poczekamy
A nie mówiłam
