The Mediterranean diet is constantly showing the benefits of overall health.
Researchers at the University of Dulan University of New Orleans have recently discovered that this diet can improve memory through balance of intestinal bacteria.
In this study published in the “Intestinal Microbial Report” magazine, mice were fed a Mediterranean diet within 14 weeks. This includes foods rich in olive oil, fish and fiber.

Compared with mice who eat full -width -rich western diet, the four beneficial intestinal bacteria that eat the Mediterranean diet increased, while the other five beneficial intestinal bacteria have decreased.

Then, the mouse’s task is to manipulate a series of maze to test their memory.
Those who adopt the Chinese sea diet show better performance in the maze challenge.
“This research strengthens how the food we choose deeply affects our intestinal microbiome group, and then affects our cognitive performance.”
Researchers have inferred that compared with those who follow the “typical western diet”, those who follow the Mediterranean diet will produce different intestinal bacterial models, and these intestinal changes are related to learning and memory.

“Our results show that there may be a relationship between the microorganisms of dietary regulation, the peripheral immune function and cognitive function,” the study concluded.
“More studies need to be carried out to determine the causal relationship between the intestinal microbes, immune functions and cognitive functions that regulate diet, and explore other brain mechanisms.”

The Mediterranean diet group also shows that the cognitive flexibility and work memory have been improved, and “bad” cholesterol that maintains a lower level.
Cory Mygrant is a registered nutritionist at Welltheory, California. She did not participate in the study, but shared her response.

“As a nutritionist, I am glad to see more evidence that emphasizes the incredible force of the Mediterranean diet. It is not only good for heart health but also good for brain health,” she told Fox News Digital Channel.
“This research strengthens how the food we choose deeply affects our intestinal microbiome group, and then affects our cognitive performance.”

Magrant pointed out that intestinal health is considered to be “the foundation of overall health” because it affects “everything from immunity to mental health.”
“The Mediterranean diet is an excellent choice to support this important system,” she continued. “It is rich in vibrant and delicious foods, and you can easily integrate into daily life as long as you simply adjust.”
“The Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of cognitive ability and dementia by 50%.”
In an interview with the Fox News Digital Channel, Demetrius Maraganore Medical PhDs were studied at the Fox News Digital Channel, Demetrius Maraganore Medical PhDs emphasized the differences between the Mediterranean diet and Western diet in cognitive functions and intestinal microorganisms.
He told Fox News Digital Channel that the diversity of intestinal bacteria in the Western diet and excessive growth of bacterial species are similar to the situation observed in patients with Azheimer’s disease.

Experts point out that adhering to the Mediterranean diet can improve academic and work performance.
He said: “The Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of cognitive ability and dementia by 50%, and promote higher overall intelligence, memory functions and execution functions throughout the life cycle.”

Tips to the Mediterranean Sea
In order to start the diet of the Chinese Sea style, MyGrant recommends the following simple steps:
- Replace the cream with olive oil
- Add additional vegetables to the diet
- Try plant protein, such as lentils or eagle beans
- Eat fish several times a week
- Use nuts or fresh fruits instead of super -processing food as snacks

“This is to celebrate the real natural food while maintaining the flexibility and pleasure of things,” she said.
Magant acknowledged that obtaining fresh agricultural products and Mediterranean staple foods may be challenging for some people, but he pointed out that the diet is not necessarily “all or none.”

“You can start with small and affordable exchange -such as using canned fish, frozen vegetables and whole grains -then gradually increase attention to more plant food,” he suggested.
“Our goal is to make nutrition choices easier. No matter what you are, at the same time, you will give priority to the connection between food and health.”

Maraganor said that in future research, the goal of the University of Dulan University is to develop new therapies by using the changes in nutrition and intestinal microbial groups to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease.
