One of the leading diseases that people seek to avoid as they get older is diabetes. Studies indicate that a terrific way of preventing the development of this disease is to start eating a traditional Mediterranean diet. This type of diet has been known to be healthy in terms of preventing cardiovascaular disease and may now be proven to be good in terms of preventing diabetes.

The traditional Mediterranean diet includes a number of foods that are important to your overall health. Common foods that should be included are fruits and vegetables, nuts and grains and of course that good old favorite - olive oil. However, it may also be just as important to note the foods that absent from this traditional diet - namely lots of meat and alcohol. Basically, you need to eat healthy if you want to be healthy.

Question of the Day: Are you more interested in eating diabetic-approved foods or switching to a Mediterranean diet before contracting diabetes?
