Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know that Valentine’s Day celebrates love, but who is this Saint Valentine, anyway? He’s known to be a real person, however, in our research we’ve found many conflicting facts. One account from the 1400s describes Valentine as a temple priest who was beheaded near Rome by the emperor for helping Christian couples wed. Another account states that Valentine was the Bishop of Terni, also martyred by Claudius II on the outskirts of Rome. Whatever the story, we do know one thing: It seems to have all started in Rome. So as they say…
…when in Rome…
…eat like the Romans do, and for that matter, other Mediterranean countries like Greece and Spain. Research studies suggest Mediterranean–based diets improve heart health, lower risk of developing diabetes and even delay onset of dementia. Typical local fare includes simple staples such as olives, vegetables, fish, nuts, cheese and fruit from various Mediterranean regions. All of these foods supply crucial nutrients, a good balance of healthy fats and special phytonutrients that help bolster your body’s everyday living “armor.” Prepare Mediterranean–inspired meals using these simple foods and eat as they do in Rome.

Say “Cheese” And Yogurt
Eating cultured dairy (as many Mediterranean cultures have done for hundreds of years) may offer many age–defying benefits such as helping to regulate healthy blood pressure and mitigating other heart–disease factors. According to researchers, regular infusion of healthy bacteria may have a wide array of benefits that includes a long life!

We Got Your Goat (cheese)
The Laura Chenel Cabecou is a delightful disc of soft, barely aged goat’s-milk cheese marinated in California extra–virgin olive oil, rosemary, thyme and black peppercorns. This award–winning California original is densely creamy and is an excellent cheese to keep on hand as it can elevate any dish. Delicious served with bread, over roasted veggies or with fresh tomatoes, use it as a base for many meals. Toss the whole jar in a salad; the flavorful olive oil acts as a dressing and the cheese crumbles nicely into a perfect topping. Locally made in Sonoma County, Laura Chenel has been producing some of the best goat cheese in America since 1980.

Make Fish a Weekly Catch
Eating fish such as salmon or tuna brings omega–3s into your system which in turn boosts immune strength and fights inflammation. Studies show fish eaters have lower risk for heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

And, Of Course, Drink Wine:
Red wine contains resveratrol, which keeps platelets from clumping, reducing risk for heart disease. Keep consumption in moderation (no more than one 5oz.– glass for women and two for men daily, if you choose to drink).
— Dr. Liz

Casamatta You?
A Florentine artist by training, Bibi Graetz creates the artwork for his wine labels in addition to producing fine wine. Meaning “Crazy House” in Italian, Casamatta is Graetz’s best selling wine from Tuscany and a super value. With great depth of flavors (actually more than you’d expect at this price), it has scored 90 points in Wine Spectator Magazine. Pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes with tomato based sauces and a Modigliani.
|
Papal Approval
Easy drinking, fresh and crisp, La Carraia’s Orvieto Classico is an Italian light–bodied white wine with quite a history dating back to the Middle Ages, where it was a favorite wine of the Papacy. Pair with fresh shellfish and gremolata sauces for a match made in foodie heaven.

Include Citrus, Berries and More
Research shows fruit eaters have a better intake of key antioxidants and a lower risk for heart disease. Aim for three different whole fruits daily.
|
Insist on Whole Grains
Eating brown over white or whole wheat over “un”whole white makes more than common sense, it’s a must–do step for better health. Whole grains offer prebiotic “food” for healthy bacteria that live inside of you while also supplying fiber that curbs your appetite and ultimately may help you control your weight. Aim for every grain food in your diet as a whole grain selection.
|
|
Go Nuts
Walnuts contain protective antioxidant phenols that have been shown to improve blood vessel function and eating nuts regularly lowers heart disease risk. Aim for a 1–oz. serving most days of the week.
|
Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Its potent antioxidants combat inflammation and prevent LDL (the bad carrier of cholesterol) from damaging artery walls. Drizzle on salads, breads and pasta and use to sauté veggies.
