Eat Like the Italians!

Eat Like the Italians!

 

09 Jun 2025

When it comes to healthy eating, the Italians have the recipe. The traditional Italian diet is rich in olive oil, fresh vegetables, legumes, seafood, and modest portions of pasta. This Mediterranean way of eating supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and may even add years to your life. Why? It emphasizes whole, natural foods and healthy fats, not processed junk. Olive oil, for instance, is packed with polyphenols — powerful antioxidants that help fight disease. And Italians eat slowly, often with family, which improves digestion and reduces stress. Take a page from the Italian playbook—cook from scratch, enjoy meals in good company, and savour every bite. Your arteries — and your taste buds — will thank you. Salute!
