Sophia Ross was surrounded by the vivid Mediterranean tastes growing up in a Greek beach village. She notes, “It’s not just a diet; it’s a way of life.” Living in the United States now, Sophia guides others towards long-term wellness by following the Mediterranean diet.
1. Embrace Olive Oil: “That is the pillar of Mediterranean cooking,” Sophia says. Your main cooking oil should be it; sprinkle it over roasted vegetables and salads.
2. Eat More Fish: Sophia advised including sardines and salmon, two fatty fish. She notes, “They’re loaded with omega-3s.”
3. Prioritize Vegetables: From eggplants to zucchinis, Sophia stresses loading your plate with vibrant, seasonal fruit. “The more variety, the better,” she explains.
4. Savor Meals with Loved Ones: Sophia notes, “Sharing meals is just as important as what’s on your plate.” “Food gathers people together.”
Sophia’s counsel? “Grab it one step at a time. The Mediterranean way of life is mostly based on enjoyment and harmony.
