One of the prevailing problems with our health system if how often doctors prescribe drugs that treat symptoms instead of finding the root cause of the problem. And often, the problem causing your health to decline is diet and exercise—or lack there of. The Mediterranean Diet is full of fish, vegetables and natural oils and has been proven by numerous case studies to help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar levels. So next time you’re at the grocery store try going Greek, and reap the healthy benefits.
