Food pyramid

Every day: plants & olive oil

Vegetables, fruit, whole grains, beans, nuts, herbs and extra-virgin olive oil are the base of every meal. In the PREDIMED trial, a Mediterranean diet with extra olive oil or nuts was linked with fewer cardiovascular events.

Based on the traditional Mediterranean pattern and Blue Zones research. See our research.
