She also believes that food is medicine and that eating well is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle and longevity. The emphasis of Mediterranean cuisine on freshness, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, is not only delicious, but also inherently healthy with an abundance of benefits contributing to the quality of our everyday life.
