The Mediterranean Diet for Heart Health

This article point out more research on this diet & the possible benefits. The tips are:

Avoid red meat. Use fish (preferable) or chicken instead, along with legumes, as a protein source.
Eat lots and lots of fruits and vegetables, fresh whenever possible.
Cook only with olive oil or canola oil.
Eat whole grain breads and pasta
Eat a handful of nuts daily -- walnuts, almonds, pecans and Brazil nuts have actual clinical data to back up their health benefits.
Avoid baked goods.
Avoid butter and products containing trans fats.
Limit (or better, eliminate) fat-containing dairy products.
A glass of red wine (but no more than one glass per day) can also be beneficial to heart health. You should probably check with your doctor about this one.
