Spain is one of the countries that follows a Mediterranean-style diet. This diet emphasizes protein and healthy fats. These vitamins are beneficial to the heart, making Spain one of the countries with the lowest risk of heart disease. The Mediterranean diet has significant benefits for our health because it improves cholesterol levels, antioxidant function, blood pressure, the immune system, blood coagulation, and even the liver system. In Spain, people have relatives who live in small towns or villages, and they sometimes bring them traditional goods as gifts. And it's a well-known fact that conventional home-made goods are still superior to manufactured goods. Spanish food is one of the healthiest food in the world because it contains natural products such as meat, fish and vegetables, and they are cooked in ways that better our health. 1- https://rightcasa.com/heres-why-spain-is-voted-the-healthiest-country-in-the-world-in-2019/ 2- https://www.barcelonasegwaytour.com/spanish-eating-habits-healthy/

An important distinction must be made when defining 'Spanish food' as although traditional recipes may be healthy, the tourist 'classics' and commercial tapas can be extremely *unhealthy*. For example, potatas bravas, croquettes, calamari and the sickly sweet churros to finish are all lacking in nutrients and high in calories making Spain an unhealthy cuisine.
