People living in the Mediterranean-according to scientific studies-have the lowest incidence of deaths from cancer and heart disease. A large part of that is attributed to their diet. Their diet is not low in fat, but it contains many powerful antioxidants that fight disease. Some of these foods include fish, wild green plants, olive oil (used in salads and cooking), walnuts, figs and whole grains. Here is a recipe for a wonderfully delicious traditional Greek soup (made throughout all regions of Greece). It is called "Psarosoupa Avgolemono".

Psarosoupa means fish soup-Avgolemono means egg and lemon sauce.
