Mediterranean diet in a birthday party can chant a magic spell on your guests!

Well I just found something really interesting and couldn't resist myself to share this with you. As this blog is a birthday blog I thought of posting this here as it will benefit you when it comes to birthday recipe. I just found the web buzzing with something -- mediterranean diet. Most of us were with a wrong notion that the lower in fat a diet is, the better it is for our health.Modern research denies it, belying the long-held belief that low-fat diets are best!

As usual I was in the net the last night when I suddenly landed on a page that says researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, carried out a study with 322 obese subjects. The outcome of the research was that the so-called Mediterranean diet (a diet characterized by heavy fats, fruits and veggies) beats out the low-fat diet when it comes to health benefits.

So guys, when it comes to choosing a birthday recipe next time there's no harm picking the high-fat Mediterranean diet. Just keep in mind that recent study that was published in the British Medical Journal reports that Mediterranean diet "helps reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 83 percent."

Now you can plan for a 'Mediterranean diet' themed birthday party where the recipes can be based on Italian and Greek flavor. Just imagine a birthday party where guests will be served plenty of foods, having health benefits such as vegetables, fruits, olive oil, whole grains, fish, legumes and saturated fats, meat, dairy etc. and not just only a birthday cake and some snacks. A moderate consumption of alcohol would just be a perfect blast!
