Saving the Lives of Women: How the Mediterranean Diet Helps

To say that "Food is Medicine" is an important concept is an understatement. The rest of the message, that "Food Can Be Poison," is seen every day at the Kahn Center for Cardiac Longevity.

The traditional site to learn more about the MED diet (www.oldwayspt.org) is also discussed as a resource.
