The mediterranean foods like olive oil are low in saturated fat, high in monounsaturated fat are good for heart healthy and seem to reduce cancer risk.

The mediterranean diets reduced cholesterol levels by comparable amounts, but the long-term results were surprising. Only 8 new heart attacks occurred over the next two years in the Mediterranean group, compared to [b]33[/b] in the other group.

What the researchers don't mention, however, is the gender of participants. Statistically, women are at much greater risk of suffering a second heart attack. Another consideration is that heart disease is multi-factorial. Diet is just one factor. Family history, lifestyle and blood pressure management are other risks. It is good to eat food Mediterranean food to keep the proper health.
