The Mediterranean diet—rich in olive oil, vegetables, nuts, fish, and whole grains—consistently reduces cardiovascular disease risk. Its balanced fat profile lowers LDL cholesterol while maintaining HDL levels. Polyphenols and antioxidants mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation. Regular adherence is linked to decreased incidence of heart attacks, strokes, and metabolic syndrome. Integrating Mediterranean principles with lifestyle modifications optimizes long-term heart health.
