Role of the Mediterranean Diet in the Brain and Neurodegenerative
Disease provides a comprehensive overview of the effects of all
components of the Mediterranean diet on the brain, along with its
beneficial effects in neurodegenerative diseases. It covers topics
on neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer disease (AD), Parkinson
disease, (PD) Huntington disease (HD) and Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS), also providing information on how cardiovascular
disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome become risk
factors for neurodegenerative diseases. This book focuses on how
the Mediterranean diet suppresses oxidative stress and
neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases as well as signal
transduction. The Mediterranean diet is characterized by the
abundant consumption of olive oil, high consumption of plant foods
(fruits, vegetables, pulses, cereals, nuts and seeds); frequent and
moderate intake of wine (mainly with meals); moderate consumption
of fish, seafood, yogurt, cheese, poultry and eggs; and low
consumption of red meat and processed meat products. High
consumption of dietary fiber, low glycemic index and glycemic load,
anti-inflammatory effects, and antioxidant compounds may act
together to produce favorable effects on health status. Collective
evidence suggests that Mediterranean diet not only increases
longevity by lowering cardiovascular disease, inhibiting cancer
growth, but also by protecting the body from age-dependent
cognitive decline.
