MediterrAsian.com. Q & A

Studies have shown time and time again that Mediterranean and Asian peoples who adopt a Western diet and lifestyle substantially increase their risk of developing chronic illnesses such as heart disease and certain cancers. Many other studies have shown that when Westerners adopt a Mediterranean or Asian diet and lifestyle their health improves and their chronic disease risk substantially decreases. This demonstrates that the good health traditionally enjoyed by Mediterranean and Asian peoples has very little to do with genetics and a lot to do with what they eat and how they live.
