The Wonderful Simplicity of the Greek Mediterranean Diet

The traditional Greek diet included fresh produce, fish from the sea, lots of olive oil, and sourdough bread.

The food was simple to prepare and very tasty.

That’s why I want to share an article with you about the Greek Mediterranean diet that is very simple but that everyone should read and try to include in their eating habits.

The expert featured in the article is Artemis Simopoulus, a close friend of mine who has worked with Amway and the Nutrilite brand for many years. She has spoken to people all over the world about the importance of a healthy diet and how to go about creating it.

She shared this short story with a good friend, and I thought it was so good that I wanted to share it with all of you. It is a quick read that highlights how good eating and good health aren’t that difficult. It just takes a little thought, love, and passion for the food we eat.

Of course, products like those from the Nutrilite brand help balance the total package and help people optimize their nutrition.

Please enjoy the story, and I hope it offers some additional information on how simple it is to support your health and well-being, which is what we are all about — and with the potential to help people worldwide.

I thank you for reading and listening to my friends and me, embracing our concepts, and sharing the Nutrilite product line with people all over the world. You help make the world a better place, and it is just the beginning. So, keep it up! We still have a long way to go before we get everybody to embrace this way of thinking.

Artemis is one of those people; she has been around for a long time and is still going strong. Hopefully, one day, you will have a chance to meet her if you haven’t already.

Enjoy, and I hope you gather additional information for yourself and your families.

Fondest regards,

Dr. Sam's Journey

The pursuit of wellness

Wellness has always been central to my story. When my father, Carl F. Rehnborg, founded Nutrilite in 1934, his goal was to help people everywhere take responsibility for their health, their wealth, and the planet. Even then, he knew that all these things were interconnected. His vision shaped my own path—a journey grounded in curiosity, science, and a passion for helping others live well.

Amway & Nutrilite

Farming

Farming for the future

There’s a long history of farming innovation at Nutrilite. It started when my father, Carl F. Rehnborg, began growing alfalfa in the 1930s before we even knew to call it organic. He was looking for the purest, most nutritious botanicals, and he already knew that they needed to be grown sustainably and naturally, without any synthetic fertilizers or chemicals. That same belief continues to guide us today.
