Mediterranean Diet - Fats

Perhaps the most important part of the Mediterranean Diet is this plant.

Olive oil is the single ingredient most associated with the Mediterranean Diet. It is the one single food substitution you can do that will improve your health immediately and have great consequences. But not all olive oil is the same.

Olive oil and your heart

There are many types of fat that you can find in your diet. Saturated fat will raise your LDL level, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. Olive oil, which is unsaturated, decreases the risk of heart disease.
