Scientists Named the Best Diet of 2021

The reputable American publication U.S. News & World Report has released its annual report — a ranking of the best diets. These are the eating plans that best help people stay healthy and energetic.

A group of experts — including nutritionists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and psychologists specializing in eating behavior — analyzed 39 diets. The scientists evaluated various factors such as the nutritional completeness of the diet, its safety, its potential for preventing and managing diabetes and heart disease, and how easy it is to follow.

After evaluating all the diets, the experts named the best one: for the fourth year in a row, it is the Mediterranean diet. In addition, this diet was also ranked as the best for healthy eating, the easiest to follow, the best diet for people with diabetes, and the best plant-based diet.

Scientists confirmed that the Mediterranean diet helps fight stress and depression, protects against Alzheimer’s disease, and improves physical endurance during exercise.
