Why Avalon Pockets Restaurant Only Serves Mediterranean Diet

First allow me to explain the details of what a Mediterranean diet looks like. The whole gamut of Mediterranean food begins and ends with virgin olive oil! My favorites are Greek Early Harvest extra virgin olive oil and Tenuta Di Capezzana extra virgin olive oil. These are the same extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) that we use in Avalon Pockets Restaurant. There are a myriad of ways to cook food with virgin olive oil and the main reason why chef love to use it is, because it has a lot of health benefits. Basically when you want to switch up to a Mediterranean Diet, then you need to eat more fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, nuts, and legumes.

You eat lean proteins (fish and some poultry) moderately, and significantly reduce red meats and sweets in your diet (Mediterranean Diet discourages people from consuming too much sugar or salt). Chefs also use fresh herbs, garlic, citrus, and spices to create additional flavoring to the dishes.

Why the Mediterranean Diet?

It was around the 1960s that the world took notice about the unusually few deaths related to coronary heart disease in in Mediterranean countries, such as Greece and Italy compared to northern Europe and the United States, and that Mediterranean Diet had something to do about it. Future scientific research would prove that there is a link between Mediterranean Diet and the lower risk for cardiovascular disease.

Ever since these peer-reviewed journals was published, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans has recommended Americans to include or completely shift to the Mediterranean Diet by consuming vegetables, fruits and herbs in order to promote health and prevent chronic disease. Yes, we do read peer-reviewed journals at Avalon Pockets Restaurant too!

The W.H.O. (World Health Organization) also echoed the findings of the peer-reviewed journals regarding Mediterranean Diet and considered it as a healthy and sustainable dietary pattern that has tons of longterm health benefits. Meanwhile the United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) offers the same recommendation.

The Mediterranean Diet is Plant-Based and Not Meat-Based

The Mediterranean Diet is mostly plant-based, which means that you get all the essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers and a myriad of other health benefits. Each and every meal prepared is rooted in these principles. Minor foods included in the Mediterranean Diet are dairy, poultry and eggs. On the other hand, red meat is not preferred and is only consumed in rare occasions.
