Plant-Based Mediterranean Diet

A heart-healthy plan packed with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and healthy fats.

This plan emphasizes a high-fiber, antioxidant-rich diet through daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. It uses extra virgin olive oil as its main cooking oil. Plant-based fats from avocado and a daily dose of nuts or nut butter provide healthy unsaturated fats while keeping saturated fat to a minimum. Sodium is limited to less than two grams per day.
