"The Atlantic Diet: A New Approach to Health and Weight Loss"

The Atlantic diet, a cousin to the Mediterranean diet, is based on foods from northern Portugal and northwestern Spain and has been linked to better heart health and a lower risk of early death from cancer, heart disease, or any cause. This plant-based and locally sourced diet includes fresh fish, red meat, dairy, legumes, fresh vegetables, and moderate wine consumption. Studies have shown that adherence to the Atlantic diet is associated with lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as improvements in various health markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and inflammation. However, not all food groups in the traditional Atlantic diet are beneficial, with red and processed meats and potatoes potentially increasing health risks.
