But the well-being of the Mediterranean does not depend only on a diet. It is a set of factors.\r\n\r\nMediterranean populations have unique conditions which, when combined, shape what is known as the Mediterranean lifestyle. Traditions, customs, places, interpretations or history among others are part of the combination that makes life in the Mediterranean so special and enviable.\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Traditions and customs<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAnyone who lives it or has lived it closely will understand that it is not easy to point out what makes the lifestyle of this place so special. Here we detail some of the elements that we consider essential in the Mediterranean way of living.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Simple life<\/strong>. Calm, relaxed, no hurry, but no pause\u00a0<em>(sin prisa, pero sin pausa).<\/em>\u00a0Each person spends his days absorbed in his chores, maintaining a productive rhythm, but with his spaces to think, contemplate and socialize. Enjoying the little things.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Spending time with friends and family<\/strong>: everything is better when it is shared. Good relationships and socialization contribute greatly to well-being. And in the Mediterranean, we follow pretty good this advice, you just have to look at the bars and terraces, people talking in the street or walking in groups.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Outdoor life.<\/strong>\u00a0Walking around, the beach, eating on a terrace or the old people sitting \u201cal fresco\u201d on their doorstep. In the Mediterranean there is a good climate and it is enjoyed. You can live outdoors practically the whole year.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>The siesta.<\/strong>\u00a0It is a concept, more than a moment to sleep. The day is split into two parts, the morning and the afternoon, with a transition of approximately two hours known as \u201cla siesta\u201d. You either use that period to sleep and rest, or to do something else. What is clear is that\u00a0<strong>you don\u2019t want to be working or out in the sun between three and five in the afternoon<\/strong>. It is pure ancient wisdom to take shelter at home or in the shade during those hours when the sun and the heat are pressing.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><strong>The Mediterranean Sea<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe best scenario for one of the best lifestyles. In front of the sea or close to it. In the villages of the Mediterranean<strong>, the sea plays a major role<\/strong>. Since fishing was a subsistence activity, until today. The ancient fishing arts are still present, but other activities as water sports are practiced in the sea and some other people are sailing around the beautiful beaches, mountain and cliffs.\r\n\r\nWithout forgetting to enjoy the view with\u00a0<strong>the beautiful landscapes<\/strong>\u00a0that form the combination of mountains and small towns with the calm of the Mediterranean Sea. Or the red sunsets that Serrat sang to in his song \u201cI was born in the Mediterranean\u201d.\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>And, of course, the gastronomy<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest based on the low amount of saturated fats and the consumption of vegetable oils, such as olive oil.\u00a0<strong>Olive oil<\/strong>, which has been made for thousands of years, is without a doubt the superstar of the Mediterranean diet, a highly healthy product that is essential in all Mediterranean homes, used in many dishes. Not for nothing they call it\u00a0<strong>the liquid gold.<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff5dbf7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ff5dbf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 30-04-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sosiegomar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/aceite-oliva-mas-min.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1287\" alt=\"aceite\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sosiegomar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/aceite-oliva-mas-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.sosiegomar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/aceite-oliva-mas-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sosiegomar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/aceite-oliva-mas-min-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53f0db7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53f0db7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>But, in addition to oil,\u00a0<strong>bread, wine, cheese, fish and seafood, nuts and fresh fruit and vegetables are part the Mediterranean diet<\/strong>.
