5) Moderate Dairy Consumption
Dairy is king in Western food and is found in almost every dish. There are radical positions considering dairy very harmful or fundamental for health. Whatever the case, we can agree that sometimes we use them a lot and in a very unhealthy way. An example of this is yogurt, which has become popular as healthy food, but stores are overflowing with a type of yogurt heavily sweetened with sugar. Consuming this fermented food is no longer beneficial, especially because some do not contain probiotic elements.
For this reason, cheese and dairy products should be consumed in moderation in the Mediterranean diet. It is preferable in any case to use Parmesan or feta cheese and avoid processed cheeses. Similarly, pay close attention to the type of yogurt you are buying. Make sure it has no added sugars.
