5 health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, according to science

Quick Summary:

Past studies showed that sticking to the healthy diet reduced the risk of developing prostate, cervical and colorectal cancer, and decreased the risk of women dying from any cancer by 17%.

The health benefits are vast, but the newest finding about the diet, published in the JAMA Open Network earlier this month, has to do with bone health in women 55 and over.

While several studies have found links between the diet and brain health, some of the strongest evidence came in 2024 out of the University of Barcelona, where researchers followed nearly 850 French citizens age 65 and over for more than a decade.
