What benefits do they have for patients, particularly those with inflammatory and chronic conditions? How can Mediterranean food combinations improve health?

Refresh your palate and get a taste for the latest evidence which recommends the Mediterranean diet as the superior diet. Dr Poole will also be examining the key macro- and micronutrients in the Mediterranean diet which lead to nutritional health benefits. We will be discussing the role of the diet in inflammation and prevention of chronic diseases.
Extra virgin olive oil is an essential part of the Mediterranean diet and we will be honing in on why this is. In order to understand its nutritional benefits, we must look at the study of polyphenols – what they are, where they are found and why they are so important, even though they are so unheard of!
We will also be analysing the alchemy of food combinations and cooking the Mediterranean way, including the lifestyle. This will enable us to comprehend the chemical changes that occur within food and what these do to the body physiologically, as well as in terms of disease.
