In the world, especially liver diseases like non-alcoholic liver disease have become a leading health concern. Its symptoms usually do not show until there is a significant damage. Its treatment is done through medications and lifestyle changes but in this way its progression can be slowed or controlled but it is difficult to eliminate it.

A Way of Life, not a Restriction
According to my honest review, when you follow the Mediterranean diet, you do not feel like you are following a boring diet, rather you enjoy full flavors and color of nature in your diet, like fresh herbs, drizzling dews of olive oil, red ripped tomatoes and fresh fish from pond to your grill. If you observe, this is not a science but a celebration at your dining table.

Your plate should have green, white and purple salad, 2 to 3 times a week should have fish instead of red meat. I always say that every good meal is an investment for your future health which will pay off after you get old.
