Is it possible to find the healthy components of the Mediterranean Diet in Caribbean cuisine and craft a healthy diet that is both backed by evidence and favorable to our Caribbean tastebuds? In this video, I break down what the key features of the Mediterranean Diet are and explore which Caribbean foods contain similar nutrients. I also show examples of foods I make myself that would fit in with an Afro-Caribbean Mediterranean Diet to both inspire you and fuel your imagination! The key message is that there isn’t just one way to eat healthy or one superior diet – the things you need to make your ideal diet can be found right in your backyard!
