客戶詢問地中海飲食的好處，護理師應強調哪些成效？（選所有適合的）
A client asks the nurse about the benefits of a Mediterranean diet. Which outcomes should the nurse emphasize? (Select all that apply.)
- AImproved cardiovascular health✓ 正解改善心血管健康
- BReduced risk of type 2 diabetes✓ 正解降低第二型糖尿病風險
- CRapid, permanent weight loss within weeks在數週內快速且永久地減重
- DLowered systemic inflammation✓ 正解降低全身性發炎
- EImproved cognitive function✓ 正解改善認知功能
地中海飲食包含大量蔬果、橄欖油、全穀類及適量魚類，被證實可改善血脂及心血管預後，並能透過改善胰島素敏感性降低糖尿病風險。此外，其富含抗氧化劑，有助於減緩身體慢性發炎及神經退化。然而，該飲食法著重長期平衡而非短期快速減重。
The Mediterranean diet (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, olive oil, fish, moderate dairy/wine) is supported by extensive evidence for improved cardiovascular outcomes, reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes through better insulin sensitivity, lower systemic inflammation, and reduced cognitive decline. It promotes gradual, sustainable weight management rather than rapid weight loss—any promise of 'rapid permanent weight loss in weeks' is incorrect.
美國醫學界極力推廣此飲食法作為預防醫學的核心；台灣臨床營養師亦採用，但民眾飲食習慣調整難度較高。
