Everything about the plan méditerranéenLe Mediterranean diet has a particularly positive effect on the incidence of cardiovascular disease, some cancers and diabetes. What is he?
Cretan diet and Mediterranean diet
Through various studies, some of which started in the 60s, it was found that populations of the Mediterranean had a fat intake as large as in the countries of northern Europe and were still far fewer victims the cardio-vascular disease and certain cancers.
It was Ridge who alerted first, then the mortality rate for cardiovascular disease was 95% lower than the United States and 96% to that of Finland, the country most exposed. This explains why it has long talked about plan before the Cretan Mediterranean diet takes precedence.
The Mediterranean diet
So eat that, for centuries, people in Mediterranean countries? What they produce.
Fruits and vegetables (fiber, vitamins, carotenoids and minerals providing antioxidants), bread and pulses (carbohydrates and fiber), little meat (so little saturated fat), but poultry and especially fish (Omega 3 so “anti” bad cholesterol). They cook in olive oil (linoleic acid guard) and they drink wine (polyphenols and tannins protectors).
It has long wondered what, in all these foods, this effect was particularly beneficial. Olive oil? The wine? Until we conclude that this was not part of this diet was protective, but the entire Mediterranean tous.Régime
The Mediterranean diet is finally the model of a balanced diet when we cook with olive oil.
Which means: vegetables at every lunch and every dinner, grains (pasta, rice) and wheat bread in quantities sufficient daily pulses two or three times a week, small servings of meat (and not every day), no or very little meats, poultry instead of meat, fish at least three times a week, fruit for dessert at every meal, two to three glasses of red wine per day.
Butter and cream are not to be avoided entirely but to use very small quantities.
Of course, the dishes in the industry have no place in the Mediterranean diet.
The Mediterranean diet is not really difficult to implement and it has largely proved protective.

No need to keep your old lipstick or your old mascara. In terms of makeup, making stocks is not a good idea. Instead, throw it all started with products you did not served for several months.
The reasons are simple and obvious. Like all cosmetics, eyeliner, mascara and makeup have an expiration date. Despite the Conservatives included in their composition, age makeup: your old mascara has become thick or pasty, and the smell of your makeup has changed. This is normal! After a while, products have exceeded their useful life, change their smell and / or texture.
But they can also be contaminated by bacteria, for example. If you use this product on your skin (close your eyes, your lips), an infection can develop. This risk is real but fortunately rare. However, it is sufficient to avoid any risk to regularly clean up your mailbox or your makeup drawer.
Here are some pointers.
