The annual “Best Diet”awards are out from US News – and for the 8th year in a row, the Mediterranean Diet hits the top of the list.
This style of “whole food” eating is at the center of my “Mental Fitness Diet” – which combines the best parts of Mediterranean with Scandinavian, Okinawan, Blue Zones, and other traditional patterns form around the world.
