When was it coined? 1958 Ancel Keys organized 7 countries study: Finland, USA, Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Greece , Italy, Japan.
It showed: A lower prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and heart disease in populations of Greece and Italy especially the Greek Island of Crete, which he attributed to diet.

Review of 13 studies since 2004 There is strong evidence that replacing saturated fats with monounsaturated fats (MUFA)is associated with reducing cardiovascular mortalities:
Reducing LDL Cholesterol( bad cholesterol) Decrease in blood triglycerides Reducing Inflammation
Strong evidence that MUFA are associated with improving Type 2 diabetes ‐ less insulin resistant

Less Inflammation, Oxidative Stress with Med Diet Italian researchers studied the diets of 131 healthy adults, and rated each person's diet for overall adherence to a traditional Mediterranean Diet. They compared this "Mediterranean Diet Score" to blood test results of cholesterol and triglycerides, antioxidant levels, immune system function and oxidative stress. They found that those with a higher Med Diet Score had less inflammation, reduced oxidative stress, and higher circulating levels of antioxidants, all of which are associated with reduced risk of disease.Nutrition Journal, November 16, 2011; 10(1):125 [Epub ahead of print] (Azzini et al.)

Protective Effects of Mediterranean Diet against Prostate Cancer In a meta‐analysis of the relationship between diet and prostate cancer, scientists in Valencia, Spain reviewed existing studies. They found that prostate cancer is reduced in men on the Mediterranean Diet compared with those on a typical Western diet. They cited several characteristics of the Med Diet, including high daily consumption of fruits, vegetables, grains, tubers and legumes; olive oil as the main source of fats; low intake of animal products; regular consumption of small fish; and small amounts of wine with meals.Actas Urologicas Españas, September 27 2011 [Epub ahead of print]

Eating a Mediterranean‐style diet rich in olive oil, whole grains, fish and fruit may protect aging brains from damage associated with cognitive problems After reviewing brain MRI's of 712 octogenarians, researchers found that those following the Med Diet the most closely were up to 36% less likely to show brain damage from small strokes.

Olive Strokes
Older people who consume plenty of olive oil may reduce their risk of stroke by as much as 41%. That's the conclusion of researchers from the University of Bordeaux, who followed more than 7,000 people over the age of 65, in the French cities of Bordeaux, Dijon, and Montpelier, for more than five years. Compared to those who seldom or never used olive oil, those with the heaviest self‐reported use of olive oil lowered their risk of suffering a stroke during the five‐year duration of the study from 2.6% to 1.5% – a 41% drop.

Less saturated fat via meats (portion/frequency) butter, milk, cream
Less salty and sweet snack processed foods 14

How to get it in America? Cook and eat home more often. Eat vegetarian 1‐2 times week….not isolated soy protein. Try an Mediterranean dish: falafel, hommus, bean soup Use extra virgin olive oil for cooking, salads, vegetables, eggs Steam leafy green vegies like escarole, chard, rabe add oil/lemon Make your own salad dressing with real olive oil. Reduce intake of dessert foods. Only on weekends or only on an
occasion. Eat plain yogurt and add your own fresh fruit and honey Have meat be small part of the meal: stew Eat fish with bones small fish….smelts, sardines, anchovies Snack less on packaged foods bars, boxed foods. Have a handful
of nuts instead, fruit, yogurt
