Abstract

The Mediterranean diet is recognized as a healthy and nutritious dietary pattern worldwide. It requires abundant grain and vegetable intake, and replaces part of the human body's intake of animal protein with plant protein. Due to its special food intake requirements, it has the characteristics of plant-diet and high content of dietary antioxidants. Scientists have been studying the Mediterranean diet for more than 40 years. Over the past 40 years, more and more studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet can improve human quality and prevent and cure diseases by affecting the state of gastrointestinal tract and gut microbiome. It can optimize the structure as well as the diversity of gut microbiome, and promote the digestion of food in the gastrointestinal tract, so as to achieve effective prevention and treatment of stroke, Alzheimer's disease and other diseases. Compared with other common dietary patterns, the Mediterranean diet also has obvious advantages, such as reducing the possibility of obesity, preventing and treating hypertension, and has good universality. At present, there has been relatively mature and complete applied research in the field of the influence of the Mediterranean diet on gastrointestinal tract and gut microbiome, but there is still a lack of in-depth researches on the basic principles of action.
