The Mediterranean diet is one of the most complete, balanced and healthy that exist. The Mediterranean diet has multiple benefits, which is why at Saona we have highlighted 10 of the most important:

1- It avoids premature aging of the cells, since it is a diet rich in antioxidants due to the amount of vitamins that the food that is eaten contains. Which contributes to reducing the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases and age-related cognitive decline.
2- Improved functioning of various organs, such as the kidney and the heart.
3- Reduce the consumption of preservatives and additives.
4- The intake of olive oil and omega 3 fats are two regulators of our body that actively participate in the elimination of waste and toxins from our body, in addition to preventing the appearance of breast and colon cancer.
5- It reduces the probability of suffering from Parkinson’s.
6- Avoid suffering from diabetes because a diet rich in complex carbohydrates and olive oil makes our body’s glucose levels regulate.
7- It prevents obesity and cardiovascular diseases as it helps reduce triglyceride levels in the blood.
8- It increases cerebrovascular protection against diseases such as multiple sclerosis and reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol, thanks to the inclusion in the diet of products such as oily fish, vegetables, nuts, such as walnuts or soybeans.
9- Improves life expectancy. It has also been shown that the death rate from cancer is lower among those who practice it than in northern European or American countries, which tend to abuse fast food, convenience foods and fats more.
10- It helps to control weight and increase the feeling of physical well-being, the food variety of the Mediterranean diet and the low caloric intake, if combined with regular exercise contributes to being in full physical shape.

Both the daily menu and the menu of the Saona restaurants are based on a 100% Mediterranean diet and their dishes are made with local, seasonal and quality products. For this reason, with our gastronomic proposals we want to promote the Mediterranean diet and a lifestyle.
