mediterranean diet and gut health

The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating that reflects the traditional dietary patterns of countries in the Mediterranean region. It is characterized by high consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and healthy fats, such as olive oil, while limiting red meat and processed foods. Gut health refers to the state of the gastrointestinal system and its microbial community, which plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immunity, and overall well-being. Research suggests that following a Mediterranean diet can promote a healthy gut by supporting a diverse and balanced gut microbiota, leading to improved digestive health and reduced risk of various chronic diseases.
