Start a Healthy Mediterranean Diet with Honeybells

The Mediterranean Diet is one of the most recommended diet in the world, and sweet Honeybells have a prominent place in the Mediterranean Diet. If you made a resolution to get healthy this year start the year off right by switching to the Mediterranean Diet and radically changing the way that you eat. What you eat has a direct impact on your health. Researchers have found consistently that the Mediterranean Diet can fight depression, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

The Mediterranean Diet relies on olive oil as the main source of fat instead of butter. People who follow the Mediterranean Diet often eat salads at every meal and also consume some vegetables with breakfast. The Mediterranean Diet recommends fresh fruit, like sweet delicious Honeybells, as a dessert and as a daily snack. Honeybell tangelos, the delicious hybrid fruit of the tangerine and the grapefruit, is very sweet but has less than one hundred calories. It’s also packed full of healthy antioxidants and flavanoids as well as vitamins and minerals that your body needs. By eating fresh Honeybells and other citrus fruits instead of chocolate, cake, candy or other desserts made with refined sugar you will be giving your body the nutrients it needs without filling it full of processed ingredients. You will also get to enjoy a sweet snack so that you won’t feel like you’re being deprived or that you’re on a diet.

You can also use sweet Honeybell juice in a lot of Mediterranean dishes. Many of the main courses found in Mediterranean cuisine are seafood, and Honeybell juice and other citrus fruit juice makes a wonderful marinade for seafood. The sweetness and tang of the juice really brings out the flavor in the seafood and hides the fishy taste that can come through in some seafood dishes. You can also make desserts and breakfast dishes with Honeybell juice instead of water to give the dish more nutrients and to naturally sweeten the dish.

Some studies have shown that switching to a Mediterranean Diet can reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by up to 50%. You can start switching to a Mediterranean Diet right now by adding a salad to your lunch and dinner, and snacking on fresh citrus fruit like Honeybell tangelos or Sugarbells every day. Honeybells are only available for a limited time from the end of December to early February so order some today before they are gone for the year.
