Washington (SmartAboutHealth) - According to a new study, a Mediterranean diet that is low in both fat and carbohydrates may be the key to a healthy heart.

The new study was carried out by researchers from countries including the U.S., Canada, as well as Germany, and focused on a very large sample of people.

Those included in the study were all between the ages of 40 and 65, and were split up into three groups with three different diets.

The diets included a diet that was low in fat, low in carbohydrates, and a Mediterranean diet.

The idea behind it was to try and gauge the quality of the diet in terms of leading to a healthy heart.

They tracked this over two years by looking at the arteries in the patients to see how the diets impacted them.

What they found was that a diet that was both low in fat and carbohydrates, a Mediterranean diet, was best to help your heart and arteries.

A diet such as this could go a long way to a healthy heart and a longer happier life.

The study has been released to the medical world this week.
