New Study From Spain Finds The Mediterranean Diet Reduces Cancer Risks Associated With Obesity – Olive Press News Spain
THAT fresh crunchy bite of cucumber, paired with sweet cherry tomato that bursts in your mouth, soft crumbling feta, a zing of spice from red onion, and of course the olives grown just around the Andalucian corner… Delicious.
And now we have even more of an excuse to dine on Greek salads with a recent study finding the Mediterranean diet reduces cancer risks from obesity.
Sticking to a strict Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of developing obesity-related cancer by six percent, researchers from the University of Navarra found.

“One of the most significant findings is that the reduction in cancer risk is not mediated by Body Mass Index (BMI) or waist-to-hip ratio, suggesting that the protective effects of the Mediterranean diet go beyond simple weight regulation,” said lead researcher Dr. Inmaculada Aguilera-Buenosvinos.
The study followed more than 450,000 people in ten European countries for 15 years.
Dr Aguilera-Buenosvinos said the results ‘highlight’ the importance of promoting healthy eating.
“These results reinforce the idea that the Mediterranean diet may contribute to cancer prevention through additional mechanisms, possibly related to its anti-inflammatory effect and its richness in antioxidants, among others,” added researcher Dr. Esteganía Toledo.
Luckily sticking to a Mediterranean diet in Spain can be cost-effective and easy. Legumes are cheap and stocked in every supermarket and corner-store. Local markets offer a diverse array of fresh seasonal products, and seaside towns house pescaderia where you’ll find fresh fish caught that morning.

Spanish Nutritionist Suggested Adding THIS To Your Breakfast In The Morning – Olive Press News Spain
WHEN we think about a healthy start to the day, we rarely consider that it could be as simple as drinking a glass of water.
Yet, making small changes to what we drink in the morning could have a significant impact on our mood, according to experts.
Adding just a pinch of salt to a glass of water can be an excellent way to begin the day, as it helps replenish the body’s minerals after a night of sleep, according to nutritionist Paloma Quintana.

Paloma emphasised that this method is not recommended for everyone, but rather for those who practise intermittent fasting or delay eating their first meal of the day.
During fasting, your levels of sodium and other electrolytes can drop, so a small amount of salt diluted in water may help your body maintain a healthy balance of minerals.
