The Mediterranean diet is widely considered the healthiest way to eat.

It prioritizes eating vegetables, legumes, seafood, and olive oil with minimal amounts of processed and fried foods, red meat, refined grains, sugar, and saturated fat.

Dr. Simon Poole, a dietary expert based in the UK, told Insider that there was a "very considerable amount of really good, high quality scientific research to show that it reduces the risks of really so many chronic diseases, from heart disease and stroke through to many cancers and even Alzheimer's disease."

It's also associated with longevity, better mental health, and maintaining a healthy weight, so it can improve quality of life in many areas as well, Poole said.

He shared four of his favorite Mediterranean diet snack ideas with Insider, following on from his favorite breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
