"Unlocking the Health Benefits of the Atlantic Diet: A Comparative Study"

A new study highlights the health benefits of the Atlantic diet, a heart-healthy eating style based on the dietary patterns of northwest Spain and northern Portugal. Emphasizing local, fresh, and whole foods like bread, potatoes, fish, and olive oil, the diet has been linked to lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome and improved cardiometabolic health. While similar to the Mediterranean diet, the Atlantic diet differs in its emphasis on specific ingredients and cooking methods, offering a promising approach to heart health.
