Diseases of the cardiovascular system are one of the most common causes of premature death worldwide. British doctors found that in France, Spain, Italy and Greece, people rarely experience problems with the heart and blood vessels than in Great Britain.

It is believed that differences in diet play an important role in this. Residents of Mediterranean countries eat less meat and foods containing saturated fats, explains Express. Less “bad” cholesterol accumulates in their blood vessels, which reduces the risk of dangerous diseases.

British doctors advise to constantly eat the Mediterranean diet. It does not require strict restrictions, but suggests the replacement of unhealthy products with more useful ones.

The Mediterranean diet does not involve a complete rejection of fats – the body needs them for normal work. British experts recommend replacing animal fats with olive or rapeseed oil. Many useful substances are found in fatty sea fish, such as herring or mackerel.

Nutritionists advise to replace regular bread and pasta with whole grains, and meat with seafood. It is recommended to reduce the consumption of dairy products to a minimum. Also, doctors advise to reduce sweets and pastries to a minimum.
