The closer you are to a Mediterranean approach, the longer and healthier your life (called the Healthy Life Expectancy Index, HALE). <\/span><\/p>\n

What I love about this research isn’t just that it confirms what we already know, but that it shows that it’s the entire pattern that matters. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nutrition is important of course, but the impact of eating a Mediterranean diet gets better when it’s … <\/span><\/p>\n

* combined with activity, and then\u00a0<\/span>
\n* combined with mindfulness, and then<\/span>
\n* combined with social interaction. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the reason the phrase “closer adherence” to a Mediterranean lifestyle matters is because it means you don’t have to “get it perfect”, by living the Mediterranean lifestyle to the Nth degree. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just do what you can for now. Get close. Because the health benefits start even when you aren’t all the way there just yet. <\/span><\/p>\n

But when you are ready to add more of this lifestyle, you add more health benefits too. <\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, this way of living grows with you. <\/span><\/p>\n
