The Seven Basic Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet in Body
Building
Introduction
As we move forward into the 21st century, more and more men and
women are involving themselves in body building. In order to be
successful at body building, a person needs to coordinate an
ambitious exercise routine with an appropriate diet regimen. In
the end, body building success depends as much upon what you do
with your body in a gym as it does with what you put into your
body at home.
Certain diet routines and plans have proven to be beneficial
directly to the goals of body builders. One regimen that
contains the elements of health eating that are essential for a
dedicated body builder is found in the Mediterranean diet.
The Mediterranean diet is a perfect choice for an ardent body
builder for seven

basic reasons.
Body Building and Fruits and Vegetables
Nutrition experts believe that a typical diet should include at
least five servings of fruits and vegetables during the course
of a given day. A body builder needs to more than double this
amount of fruits and vegetables. In this regard, the
Mediterranean diet is ideal. In the Mediterranean diet, a person
typically consumes upwards to over ten generous servings of
fruits and vegetables throughout the day.
In body building, it is recommended that the fruits and
vegetables included within the diet be taken in raw. (Steamed
vegetables are acceptable. However, over steaming can result in
a loss of some of the nutrients that naturally are contained in
fruits and vegetables.)

Various raw foods, including fruits and vegetables, are also
rich in anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants "clean up" oxidants that
can form in the body. Oxidants are the negative byproduct of
oxygen burnt within the body for energy. Anti-oxidants assist a
body builder on many fronts, including lessening muscle atrophy
which can be a significant problem in a body builder as he or
she ages.
Benefits of Protein for the Body Builder
Protein is the essential ingredient necessary to build body mass
-- which is the ultimate goal of the body building in training.

fats are destructive to any reasonable body building
routine. Obviously, one of the ultimate goals of body building
is to eliminate unnecessary and unwanted fat from the body.
While working out is a surefire way of eliminating fat, it is
also important for a body builder to elect a dieting course that
is low in saturated fat. The Mediterranean diet fits this bill
perfectly. Although a person utilizing the Mediterranean diet
will be taking in calories from fat -- primarily from olive oil
which is used effusively in the diet regimen -- the that is
being ingested is not saturated.

-- unsaturated fat
The key benefit to the Mediterranean diet is rooted in the fact
that it is balanced and draws energy in appropriate proportions
from these three dietary sources. Because the diet is balanced
by definition, your body does not end up operating "out of
whack." Through the Mediterranean diet you are able to obtain
the extra energy boosts necessary for body building without
causing your overall caloric and energy levels to end up out of
balance.
Body Building and Moderate Portion Sizes
The key to establishing a beneficial diet to advance body
building goals is eating in moderation at each meal. In

Diet Balance is Always the Key
In the end, the reason that the Mediterranean diet is so
beneficial to body builders is precisely the same reason that it
is a perfect plan for healthy eating for "average folk." The
Mediterranean diet is a solid plan because it consists of
healthy food items eaten in balanced, appropriate proportions
throughout the course of the day.
