If you’ve picked up even one health magazine in your life, you probably read about the Mediterranean diet, which consists of eating lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, and olive oil, plus some fish, dairy, and wine in moderation. (Translation: It’s a diet low in red meat, saturated fat, and sugar.)
Research continually suggests that it’s great for your heart and it could maybe also help you lose weight and lower your risk for diabetes and breast cancer. Plus, it might help keep your brain young and your gut bacteria well-fed.
Now, a study found that postmenopausal women who followed the eating plan were less likely to suffer from hip fractures than those who didn’t. CNN gleefully chirped: “Mediterranean diet wins again, helps bones.”
Is there anything the Mediterranean diet can’t do? Nope!
