    189 - Mediterranean Diet with Chris and Jill

    In this episode of Fit Strong Women Over 50, we're diving back into one of our favorite topics — food! Many of us reach a point where we want to eat healthier, feel better, and still enjoy the foods we love. This past summer my doctor has recommended that I follow the Mediterranean diet, which inspired this episode all about three of the most researched and effective eating styles for women over 50: the Mediterranean, DASH, and MIND diets.

    We talk about what makes each plan unique, how they overlap, and why they're all considered top choices for long-term health and wellness.
