Key takeaways:
The Mediterranean diet was ranked first in seven of the 11 diet categories.
The DASH diet ranked second in five categories.
For the 7th consecutive year, the Mediterranean diet was named the best overall diet by nutritional experts at U.S. News and World Report, the company announced.
The Mediterranean diet heavily centers around plant-based foods, healthy unsaturated fats and seafood while limiting sodium, saturated fats and refined carbohydrates, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet was named the second-best overall diet, followed by the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet.
The Mediterranean diet also ranked first in seven other categories — including the best family-friendly diets and best diets for healthy eating — whereas the DASH diet ranked second in five categories.
A panel of 43 experts ranked 30 diets across 11 categories. While no new categories were added since last year’s rankings, six new diets were evaluated, including the vegan diet. Each diet was rated on a scale from one to five, with five being the highest.
