Pyramid of Mediterranean lifestyle (inspired by the “Mediterranean Diet Foundation” Barcelona Spain). The size of different sectors of the pyramid is directly proportional to the frequency of use of that particular food or food group. At the base of the pyramid there are healthy habits and groups of foods to be eaten daily and in large quantities (i.e., fruit, vegetables, etc.). The upper levels show the foods to be eaten moderately (i.e., sweets, red meat, etc.).
