Dr. Meredith Warner is a big proponent of the Mediterranean Diet because it can provide the essential nutrients and benefits you need to promote a positive quality of life. Dr. Warner is an orthopedic surgeon and has learned that those who follow this particular lifestyle have less pain, are thinner, look young and healthy and are able to do more and perform at higher levels than others.<\/p><p>The Mediterranean Diet focuses on a particular lifestyle and eating habits as opposed to caloric restrictions or categorical eliminations. It\u2019s named for the Mediterranean region, where this method of eating was common in the past. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-243adfa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"243adfa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>What Is The Mediterranean Diet?<\/h2>\n<p>So, what makes up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewelltheory.com\/webinar-the-building-blocks-of-the-mediterranean-diet\/\">Mediterranean Diet<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Follow the Mediterranean Diet and you\u2019ll stay away from processed foods that contain refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and excess sugar. You should also be consuming less processed dairy and low amounts of red meat. Red meat is fine in moderation, but it should be organic and grass-finished.<\/p>\n<p>However, the focus isn\u2019t necessarily on restriction or calorie counting. Instead, you should take a look at what you can eat, and you may find this diet easier to follow than most.

Take a moment to reflect on the way you eat dinner. Are you eating by yourself? Where are you eating, at the dining room table, the kitchen counter, or the couch? A big part of the Mediterranean Diet consists of sharing meals with family and friends, in an environment with less stress associated with eating. Perhaps one of the best parts of this philosophy is that it speaks to cooking your own whole foods in your home with quality culinary ingredients. You should not rely on the food industry or the restaurant industry to provide health and wellness for you and your family. They have failed you for hundreds of years and there is no end to their epic fail in sight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60121ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"60121ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-321392\" alt=\"Why Orthopedic Surgeons Recommend The Mediterranean Diet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/169538595_l-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eeb995d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eeb995d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Benefits of Mediterranean Diet<\/h2><p>There are a number of benefits associated with the Mediterranean Diet, and most of these are associated with longevity, avoidance of chronic diseases, and prolonged mobility.<\/p><p>The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of the Mediterranean Diet lend themselves to a reduced level of oxidative stress and less chronic, low-grade inflammation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-0481657 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0481657\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3d39499\" data-id=\"3d39499\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f346ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f346ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Studies show that those who follow a Mediterranean Diet have a decreased risk of cardiovascular events like stroke.
