The Spanish diet is synonymous with the Mediterranean diet. They both consist of a combination of nutrition and other factors related to the Mediterranean culture (a more relaxed lifestyle, after-lunch naps, exercise, etc.).
However, the Mediterranean diet is not really a geographical concept. In fact, Portugal and the Canary Islands are not washed by the Mediterranean Sea, yet their diet is considered Mediterranean.
Even though the benefits that can be obtained from following this diet are proven, we should not be lead to believe that the Mediterranean diet is some sort of panacea. What we can conclude is that it presents some very positive elements that aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as other pathologies, including some kinds of neoplasia.
