Spain
Spain and the Mediterranean diet can be extremely healthy. It’s characterised by a high intake of fresh, local vegetables and fruits, herbs, whole grains, and legumes. It’s also known for having unsaturated fat in the form of quality, locally-produced olive oil.
The Spanish diet is generally well-balanced, with carbohydrates, protein, and fruits and vegetables. Many ingredients are sourced locally and are of good quality. Typically, there is less focus on red meat and more on fresh fish. This all contributes to good heart and metabolic health, with low risk of syndromes such as type 2 diabetes.
