Summary: The Mediterranean lifestyle, an extension of the broadly recommended Mediterranean diet, was just recently associated with new beneficial properties for health. One of this week's studies, has found within the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN) cohort that this beneficial lifestyle exerts a protective effect against glaucoma. Based on the SUN Healthy Lifestyle Score, it was found that the conjunction of 10 key healthy features identified by the researchers in this work was associated with a 48% lower risk of glaucoma. From these estimates, the mediterranean diet contributed with an 8.2% of the risk reduction within the score. What is behind all these benefits? Undoubtedly, the polyphenol content of the Mediterranean diet is a key factor and as such it was the focus of another of this week's articles. In it, the group of investigators found that polyphenol content, more specifically flavonoids, stilbenes, and tyrosols, measured in blood was associated with a lower prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis; a critical mediator in the occurrence of cardiovascular events. This article also points out the main sources of polyphenols in the diet, two of which are typical of the Mediterranean diet: red wine and virgin olive oil. Adding to the already substantial health benefits of olive oil and the Mediterranean diet, a research conducted in the United Arab Emirates highlights the inverse relationship between the environmental footprint of a diet (measuring water use, energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions) and adherence to the Mediterranean diet. This study was carried out on a group of women of childbearing age. Also on this week’s list of notable articles, a great number of which were carried out on children and adolescents, was that from the DIMENU project, in which they conclude that the Mediterranean diet led to a better lipid and glycemic profile in healthy adolescents, an association that benefited from the practice of physical activity; on the other hand, the PASOS study, which evaluated the determinants that led to a better adherence to the Mediterranean diet. This final report found that reaching the recommended levels of physical activity and screen time, a higher maternal educational level, and a healthier maternal lifestyles were all related to healthier teens. It is safe to say that it is never too early to prevent future diseases. For this aim, the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle are spearheading the fight, with scientific support, for health in adults and children alike. You can CLICK HERE to go see our latest posts...
