The US News & World Report magazine invites many experts in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, nutrition, obesity and food psychology to review and rank dozens of diets each year. Among them, the Mediterranean diet has been ranked as the “Best Diet Overall” for five years in a row and ranked the first in several categories in 2022, including:
- Best Diet Overall
- Best Plant-based Diet
- Best Heart-healthy Diet
- Best Diabetes Diet
- Best Diet for Healthy Eating
- Easiest Diet to Follow
However, adopting a Mediterranean diet does not necessarily mean that you can get these benefits directly. It also depends on how you do it.
