Working off the scary premise that up to 80% of all chronic disease in the Western World is preventable (think diabetes, stroke, cancer, obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure), these researchers have proven that the Mediterranean Diet can help in the prevention of cancer.

Scientist have been working closely with fruits and vegetables, olive oils, and antioxidants and their affects on cancer cells in the pancreas. The research has concluded that cell membranes can be effected advantageously by these main ingredients found in Mediterranean cuisine.

We can dramatically reduce issues such as heart attacks, diabets type 2, strokes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol simply by adopting a healthier lifestyle, regular exercise and a Mediterranean type diet.

A direct link has been identified between what we consume and our lack of resilience to pancreatitis and many forms of cancer. The outcomes of successful disease prevention worldwide in Western societies is staggering. With the ability to eradicate unhealthy lifestyle practices and with the inclusion of foods from the Mediterranean Diet, many of the illnesses threatening pandemics on the Western World could be almost eradicated. Compare this to the sobering thought that WHO (World Health Organization) predicts that diabetes type 2 sufferers will probably double over the next 15 years if our unhealthy diet selections and poor lifestyle choices continue.

Perhaps that piece of information wasn't enough to have you thinking about adjusting to new ways of eating. Perhaps you need to read more on the subject of the Mediterranean cuisine. Whatever you do, don't be foolish enough to do nothing!

Cancers can be reduced by up to 40% and improve heart health by a significant 80% simply by healthy eating. University studies have now proven that eating foods from the Mediterranean region such as natural fruits and vegetables, grains, and pure olive oils and fish oils, can have a positive impact on the membranes of cells responsible for some cancers. Cancer? Diabetes? Heart attack? No thanks. I think I'll skip the cardiac bypass and chemotherapy and stick with a Greek Salad.
