Thematic Webinar on “Mediterranean Diet: pattern and adherence”
Channel: FoSaMed Project
Date: 2022-03-17

The Mediterranean Diet, from the Greek díaita or lifestyle, is a social practice based on the set of skills, knowledge, practices, and traditions ranging from the landscape to the cuisine, which in the Mediterranean basin concern the crops, harvesting, fishing, conservation, processing, preparation and, particularly, consumption. The health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet and its protective effect against chronic diseases has been well established by the scientific community. Adherence to the Mediterranean pattern is therefore important in improving overall health. In this webinar, our invited speakers discussed the advantages of the Mediterranean diet and dissected some of the reasons for our adherence to it.

The event was organised in partnership with the UNIMED SubNetwork on Food&Water and in the framework of the Training of Teachers (WP3) of the FoSaMed project (www.fosamed.eu)
