This study, conducted in two large US prospective cohorts, found that the risk of dementia-related mortality was 28% lower in participants who consumed more than 7 grams per day of olive oil than in participants who never or rarely consumed olive oil.
Rosmarinic acid displayed a protective effect in an animal model of inflammatory bowel disease
The rosmarinic acid effectively reduces intestinal inflammation, intestinal flora dysbiosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, cell death, and intestinal smooth muscle contraction abnormalities in an animal model of inflammatory bowel disease.
The Mediterranean diet changed the gut microbiome and decreased the fecal calprotectin concentration in patients in remission of ulcerative colitis
In patients with remission of ulcerative colitis, the Mediterranean diet, compared to the habitual diet, induced changes in the gut microbiome, reduced fecal calprotectin concentrations, and increased fecal short-chain fatty acid levels.
Breastfeeding restores microbial shift in the infant’s gut microbiota caused by the mode of delivery
Breastfeeding restored perturbation in the infant’s gut microbiota caused by the mode of delivery (Cesarean section), and reduced susceptibility to respiratory infections in the first months of the infant’s life.
The Mediterranean and low-fat diets reduce the risk of all cause mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction in patients at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases
