Bet on the Mediterranean diet

Science has proven what experts have advocated for years: the Mediterranean diet is good for the heart. A menu rich in fish (salmon, tuna), extra virgin olive oil, fresh fruits and nuts, greens and vegetables - foods consumed in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea - reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, by 30%. The diet also suggests moderate consumption of cheese and red wine. These and the other items above are found in Brazil, but you can replace them with more affordable options, without compromising the effects.
