Food wine vacations Italy

The Mediterranean diet is a nutritional model inspired by traditional model dietary of European Mediterranean countries, especially in peninsular and insular regions and particularly in Italy.
It is a diet abandoned during the economic boom of the sixties, because it was considered poor and unattractive in comparison with other kinds of diet coming from America in particular. On the other hand, today the Mediterranean diet is an element of holiday in Italy: Italian wine and food, among nutritional models, are capturing the interest of consumers.
The food and wine tourism is one of the main motivations to spend vacations in Italy. Italy is the only one in the world to be able to offer 182 guarantees of origins by the European Union and 4471 local specialities included in the census by the regions. People can say that wine and food are among the most pleasant memories of vacations in Italy.
We love Italy not only for his history, nature and art, but also for his food and wine and his good things to eat and drink. Therefore, we would like to discover and know Italy more thoroughly. Above all, tourists ask for "a right balance between quality and price" and they are willing to pay more for some high-quality food products. Therefore, they are less careful with value for money and saving at all costs. They are careful with nutritional food aspects, but also with history and gastronomical culture.
 

Italian food vacations

The citizens of Italy have in common a high consumption of bread, fruit, vegetables, aromatic herbs, cereals, olive oil, fish and wine (in moderate quantity). Therefore, people who live in Mediterranean countries consume relatively large amounts of fat. Nevertheless, they have lower rates of cardiovascular disease than American population, whose diet contains high levels of animal fat. It is a paradox (at least to the traditional nutritionism point of view). The explanation is that the large quantity of olive oil used in the Mediterranean cuisine, at least partially offsets the animal fat. In fact, olive oil seems to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Moreover, people think that another protective factor is the moderate consumption of alcohol during meals (one drink twice a day for men and one drink daily for women). Perhaps it is because of the antioxidants content in alcoholic beverages. According to the study LYON, which was performed by American Heart Association (AHA), the Mediterranean diet reduces the mortality rate of coronary disease by 50%.
