For a long time, nutritionists and scientists have said a lot of good things about the Mediterranean diet. It was even called the diet of long-livers. Now it has not become less useful, but a new dietary trend is taking its place.
We'll tell you what the Atlantic diet is and whether it's healthier than the Mediterranean diet.
Mediterranean Diet
This diet consists of lean meat and seafood.
Nuts, olive oil, fruits and vegetables are also considered essential.
There is no need to prove that these products bring only benefits to the body.
Atlantic Diet
The new trend is not much different from the Mediterranean diet.
There are also plenty of fruits, vegetables, seafood and seeds here.
What is the difference?
It is necessary to include dairy products, as well as bread and potatoes, in your diet.
The next significant product is red wine.
The method of cooking, such as baking, stewing or grilling, also matters.
Advantages
Researchers say that overall, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, protein and healthy fats reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases.
That is why the benefits of the Atlantic and Mediterranean diets are considered to be the same.
