A recent study reveals that switching to a Mediterranean diet, rich in fruit, vegetables, and healthy oils, can reduce the risk of heart issues and lower stress levels. Researchers found that followers of this diet experienced less stress compared to those on a typical Western diet. The Mediterranean diet is linked to improved mental health and stress management. The diet focuses on plant-based foods, fish, poultry, and healthy fats like olive oil. The findings suggest that this diet can have positive effects on stress levels and mental well-being.
