There is also an upcoming class on the Mediterranean diet on Tuesday, Feb. 28, from 4:30 to 5pm. "The Mediterranean diet really focuses on getting back to whole foods. Studied for years for its ability to improve overall physical health, a recent study found that the Mediterranean diet can help prevent brain decline in elderly people. On Wednesday, Feb. 22, Dr. Joseph Rosenblum, a cardiologist with St. Luke's Magic Valley Medical Center, will speak about the Mediterranean diet for heart health month. Animal protein in this diet comes from fish, but the study found, that wasn't a game changer to prevent brain loss.
The Mediterranean diet is heavy in vegetables, fruit, unrefined grains, and other foods that are good for you. The Mediterranean diet calls for a moderate amount of wine, which is illegal to consume until age 21 in the United States. Nutrition experts say the Mediterranean diet is good for kids too, with some caveats. The diet calls for skim or low-fat dairy products; pediatricians call for little ones to consume whole milk until age two. Other studies have suggested the diet could lower rates of asthma and wheezing in children.
