I'm a dietitian who follows the Mediterranean diet. I always keep these 6 staple foods in my kitchen.
- The Mediterranean diet has long been lauded for its wide-ranging health benefits.
- Dietitian Kirsten Jackson told Insider she follows the diet to boost her gut health.
- Jackson shared six staples she always has in her kitchen, including olive oil and wholegrain carbs.
A registered dietitian who follows the Mediterranean diet, which is lauded for its wide-ranging health benefits, has shared what she always keeps stocked in her kitchen.
The diet is widely considered to be one of the healthiest ways to eat, thanks to its links with heart health and a lower risk of various diseases including Parkinson's and diabetes.
It emphasizes vegetables, legumes, seafood, olive oil, and wine in moderation, and encourages minimal consumption of processed and fried foods, red meat, refined grains, added sugars, and saturated fats.
Registered dietitian Kirsten Jackson follows the Mediterranean diet because research suggests it reduces the risk of multiple health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and mental health conditions, she told Insider.
"As an IBS sufferer, the Mediterranean diet also provides me with the recommended 30 different sources of plants per week which I know will help me diversify my gut bacteria," she said.
The Mediterranean diet doesn't need to be strict though, and you can still enjoy other foods in moderation, Jackson said.
Jackson shared six foods she always keeps in her kitchen to help her eat Mediterranean-style.
Sharon Stone has said that she made $13.5 million less than her "Basic Instinct" costar Michael Douglas.
"Michael Douglas made $14 million. Now, I was new. I was new and he was a very big star," she said while delivering a speech at the New York Women In Film & Television's 43rd annual Muse Awards lunch on Tuesday, according to Page Six and Mail Online.
According to both outlets, Stone — who said earlier this month that she lost half her money in a banking scandal — went on to say that she was recompensed just $500,000 for her role opposite Douglas as novelist-turned-murder suspect Catherine Tramell in the erotic thriller.
Representatives for Douglas did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Stone also said that a line producer repeatedly referred to her as "Karen" throughout the "entirety of the film."
"Even at the Governor's Ball [after the Oscars], he still called me 'Karen.' And I carried that humiliation really deeply within me — even though my name wasn't on the poster," she said.
Stone has previously spoken out about the pay disparity between her and her costar in the movie, which launched her career but also took a toll on her health and caused her to lose custody of her 4-year-old son

BANG ShowbizIn an InStyle essay published last year to mark the film's 30th anniversary, the actor revealed that to soften the blow of her low salary, she had a clause added to her contract that allowed her to keep her character's entire wardrobe, which included items from Hermès and other designers.
"People thought I was crazy, but the truth is I wasn't getting paid much compared to my male costar," she wrote. "I made $500,000; Michael made $14 million. So keeping my costumes was a really smart thing to do."
Meanwhile, in 2021, Stone told CBC she "made not enough money to buy my dress to go to the Oscars the next year."
"Basic Instinct" was nominated for best film editing and best original score at the 1993 Academy Awards, but was largely left out of the awards conversation.
Stone, however, did win best female performance and most desirable female at the MTV Movie Awards for her seductive turn in the movie.
Stone isn't the only female star who has been vocal about pay discrepancies in Hollywood recently.
Last year, "Jurassic World" star Bryce Dallas Howard told Insider's Entertainment Reporter Ayomikun Adekaiyero that she was paid "so much less" than her costar Chris Pratt.

Although reports initially indicated that the two had quite a sizable pay gap, Howard explained that the reports were wrong and that she was paid even less than the speculated figure.
However, Pratt pushed for her to receive better compensation for other franchise opportunities that were not already contractually binding.
