Diet is considered one of the most important lifestyle factors than can affect health. Although Mediterranean diets have long been celebrated for its beneficial effects against cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity), the past few years of research in the field suggest a favorable impact on metabolic parameters and type 2 diabetes as well. It has also shown signs of benefiting children with asthma. This book discusses the effects of the Mediterranean diet on health, and also examines dietary therapies on obesity and metabolic syndrome in adolescents. (Imprint: Nova)
