New research in the medical journal BMJ showed adults who ate a Mediterranean diet for an entire year increased their good gut bacteria and decreased the bad ones.
Published 2:20 PM EST Feb 19, 2020
Those who stuck to the diet slowed the loss of gut bacteria diversity. They also saw an increase in bacteria associated with better brain function, indicators of reduced frailty – like grip strength and walking speed – and reduced production of harmful inflammation. The Mediterranean diet is full of vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, olive oil and fish and low in red meat, dairy products and saturated fats. It is consistently rated as one of the healthiest diets.
"It's really fascinating to see that those who eat Mediterranean-like achieve these health benefits because they have a more diverse microbiota," Politi told USA TODAY.
