"Comparing the Health Benefits of the Atlantic and Mediterranean Diets"

The Atlantic diet, based on the traditional diet of people from northern Portugal and northwestern Spain, has been found to lower the risk of developing metabolic syndrome and benefit cardiometabolic health. It emphasizes local, fresh, and whole foods, including bread, fish, milk, and potatoes, and promotes communal eating habits. The diet's emphasis on nutrient-rich foods and traditional cooking methods contributes to its health benefits, making it a potential rival to the well-known Mediterranean diet in terms of heart health.
