If you are still searching for that perfect diet plan to help overall health and wellness, look no further than the Mediterranean diet. Interestingly, it has been the most studied diet out there, which says a lot!

The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of Greece, Italy, and other countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods, particularly plant-based options, and healthy fats.

The diet prioritizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fish, while limiting red meat, processed foods, and sugary drinks.

Here's a more detailed look at the Mediterranean diet and what it consists of:

Abundant Fruits and Vegetables: These form the foundation of the diet, providing vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Whole Grains: Choose whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread over refined grains.

Legumes, Nuts, and Seeds: Excellent sources of protein and healthy fats, legumes (beans, lentils, etc.) are a staple.

Healthy Fats: Olive oil is the primary source of fat, providing monounsaturated fats.

Fish and Seafood: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish and seafood are encouraged, especially fatty fish like salmon.

Poultry and Eggs: Moderate amounts are included in the diet.

Dairy: Limited amounts of low-fat dairy products like yogurt and cheese are acceptable.

Herbs and Spices: Used to flavor food instead of salt.
Red Meat and Sweets: Consumed sparingly.

Wine: A glass or two of red wine is often included with meals, but not essential.

The Mediterranean diet is associated with numerous health benefits, including:

Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke: By promoting healthy blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar control.

Weight management: The diet's focus on whole, unprocessed foods can help with weight loss or maintenance.

Improved brain health: May help slow cognitive decline and improve memory.

Reduced risk of certain cancers: Studies suggest it can lower the risk of some types of cancer.

Potential for increased lifespan: By promoting overall health and well-being, the Mediterranean diet may contribute to a longer life.

There’s a reason it’s viewed as the #1 diet in the world.

June is National Migraine Awareness Month!

According to a Systematic Review in the journal Headache, May 2024, called Prevalence and Burden of Migraine in the United States, by Cohen et al., the following stats were given:

Approximately 12% of the U.S. population experiences migraines.

The breakdown of migraine prevalence in the U.S. by demographics is the following:

Gender: Women are more likely to experience migraines than men. About 43% of women will have a migraine at some point in their lifetime compared to 18% of men. In 2018, women were nearly twice as likely as men to have had a severe headache or migraine in the past 3 months (20.1% vs. 10.6%).
In 2021, 6.2% of women and 2.2% of men reported being bothered a lot by headache or migraine in the past 3 months.

Age: Migraines are most prevalent in adults aged 18 to 44. The percentage of people bothered a lot by headache or migraine is lowest among those aged 65 and older. Migraine reports drop with age, with around 5% of people over 75 reporting migraines or severe headaches.

Migraine assessment and treatment involves identifying migraine type, evaluating attack characteristics and comorbidities, and tailoring a treatment plan.

Assessment:

Diagnosis: Migraines are diagnosed based on a detailed history, physical and neurological examination, and sometimes imaging to rule out secondary causes.

Attack Characteristics: Assess frequency, severity, duration, and associated symptoms (nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound).

Comorbidities: Identify and manage any co-existing conditions like depression, anxiety, or other headache types.

Disability: Evaluate the impact of migraines on daily life using tools like the MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment Scale).

Lifestyle Factors: Assess sleep patterns, diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits that may trigger or worsen migraines.

Treatment includes both acute and preventive strategies, with options ranging from over-the-counter pain relievers to prescription medications and lifestyle modifications.
