Mediterranean diet 'at risk'
Renowned for its heart and health boosting properties, the Mediterranean diet is nevertheless at risk as more people shun it in favour of fast food, it has been reported.
According to CNN, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation wants to put the diet on a Unesco list so that it will be protected by the governments of Cyprus, Greece and other Mediterranean countries as their countryfolk turn to burgers for convenience.
Rich in fruit, vegetables, fish and olive oil, the healthy regime is associated with low rates of cancer and heart disease.
However, calorie intake has increased by 30 percent in the last few decades in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Malta. In Greece, three-quarters of adults are overweight or obese.
Paolo de Castro, a former Italian Agriculture minister, said: "The Mediterranean diet is a heritage that should be protected and shared."
In 2005, it was discovered that people sticking to these foods could live for up to a year longer than someone who did not.
British people said they enjoy the diet, but were not great at staying on it once they returned home from holidays.
