The Mediterranean Diet\u2014recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO\u2014prioritizes raw materials, their variety, and their valorization: the genuine simplicity of what nature offers us. It’s not just a dietary model, nor should it be considered “old.” In 2025, the Italian Society of Human Nutrition (SINU) presented a new version of the Food Pyramid 2<\/a><\/sup> , updated to reflect current needs and promote greater adherence to daily lifestyle:<\/p>\n\n More space for plant-based and whole foods. A vision that is increasingly closer to the Mediterranean model, and to an idea of nutrition and well-being that brings together health, territory and awareness. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Harvard Healthy Eating Plate: Let’s get clear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The same principles also guide the \u201cHarvard Healthy Plate 3<\/a><\/sup> \u201d, one of the most effective and authoritative representations of daily nutrition.<\/p>\n\n The message is simple: It is a flexible, intuitive and accessible model. \u201cWhat you eat is more important than how much you eat.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Eating well: between neuroscience and everyday life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Nutrition isn’t just about the body. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Change is not a matter of diet: it is a matter of vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Changing eating habits doesn’t mean adding rules. And this is where the role of the Nutrition & Wellness Coach comes into play: Good nutrition is never just an individual thing. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n From the Mediterranean to Asia… Let’s educate ourselves through food <\/strong><\/p>\n\n The Mediterranean Diet is an exportable model. I also spoke about it in Vietnam<\/strong> , during the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World<\/em> in Hanoi, where I gave a lecture on Made in Italy agri-food<\/strong> and led cooking demos that combined tradition and innovation, using pasta<\/strong> , rice<\/strong> , and quality products<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n The Mediterranean Diet is not just a cultural heritage: it is an educational model that can communicate with different cultures. In that context, I offered concrete examples\u2014from pasta to Italian rice\u2014that demonstrated the importance of a conscious, balanced, and quality diet, promoting the values of our Mediterranean approach even in different contexts and cultures.<\/p>\n\n An opportunity to discuss not only ingredients, but also nutrition education<\/strong> and how food and well-being are connected, everywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n Learn more about the Vietnam experience<\/a><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Conclusion \u2013 Food, awareness, evolution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Eating well shouldn’t become just another goal you set yourself. Precisely for this reason, as a certified professional in Nutrition & Wellness Coaching (Harvard Medical School), I have chosen to accompany individuals and companies on journeys that put real well-being at the center\u2014not as a trend, but as a concrete direction.<\/p>\n\n Because every sustainable change starts with what we choose every day.<\/p>\n\n Let’s choose to eat well to stay well!<\/p>\n\n Learn more about Health Coaching<\/a><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In 2025, the Mediterranean Diet remains a cornerstone of health, prevention, and culture.
