Live In Home Care in Villa Park

The Mediterranean diet has been praised for its heart healthy benefits. The delicious combination of healthy fats, nuts and whole grains is great for anyone trying to improve general health, particularly for those with a history of heart attacks. To add to this, recent studies indicate that the Mediterranean diet has anti inflammatory properties as well. Inflammation is an issue for seniors with Arthritis and anyone recovering from surgery. Take a look at the Web MD article to learn more.

A British study looked at the ways a Mediterranean diet impacted a group of women with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Half of the women took a cooking class on Mediterranean style eating. The other group made no dietary changes. Women who took the class ate more foods rich in antioxidants and over the next six months, had less joint pain and morning stiffness.
