First sentence: What we know as the Mediterranean diet focuses on foods traditionally consumed by people living around the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, whose daily fare traditionally includes plenty of fresh fruits and colorful vegetables, hearty whole grains and legumes, olive oil, yogurt, cheese, a little fish, at least six 8-ounce glasses of water, often flavored with citrus peel, and a touch of wine.
