The Mediterranean diet includes nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, whole grains, seafood, and of course, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Some studies show that consuming about two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease because of the monounsaturated fat in olive oil.
