FIRST EXPERIENTIAL CONFERENCE ON THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET

This new MDR event is designed to provide an opportunity to experience the authentic Mediterranean Diet, a healthy, mindful, and sustainable eating pattern. It promotes organizations and territories that epitomize this model, where Ancel Keys lived for almost three decades. The Mediterranean Diet today is praised by the global scientific community, which recognizes a strict relationship between its application and the reduction in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and other severe inflammatory pathologies. An immersive experience that will unfold through iconic ingredients, allowing a close exam of all aspects, dynamics, and benefits for health, the environment, the culture, society, economy of the Mediterranean Diet.
