=============================

Half of any workout’s effectiveness is its accompanying nutrition; and the ancient Hellenes had a deep and complex dietary plan that we can still learn from today. In this video, we’ll go through each section of the ancient Hellenic Mediterranean diet. From the popular ingredients they used, to how they planned and sectioned their daily meals; including their unique method of scheduling their diet based on the season of the year. With focus on both aesthetics and functionality, the ancient Olympian Nutrition provides a harmonious mode of diet, worthy of the divinity associated with its name.
