The 5 most important benefits from Cretan cooking


Make 2023 the year when you add CRETAN CUISINE to your day-to-day diet. And if, apart from the exquisite tastes of Cretan cooking, you still want some additional reasons to do it, here are the 5 most important benefits from Cretan cooking.

1. Heart health: The Cretan diet is rich in healthy fats, such as olive oil, which have been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Additionally, Cretan cooking features plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are high in antioxidants and other beneficial nutrients that can support heart health.

2. Weight management: The Cretan diet is low in red meat and processed foods, and high in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which can help to promote healthy weight management and prevent obesity.


3. Cancer prevention: Studies have shown that the Cretan diet may help to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, particularly breast and colon cancer, due to its high intake of fruits and vegetables and its emphasis on healthy fats.

4. Cognitive function: The Cretan diet has been linked to improved cognitive function and brain health, possibly due to the high intake of fish and other foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other beneficial nutrients.


5. Longevity: The Cretan diet has been associated with a longer life expectancy, possibly due to its beneficial effects on heart health, weight management, and overall health and well-being.
