Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Mediterranean diet is the traditional diet of many countries surrounding the Mediterranean basin. It emphasises the consumption of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, oily fish, legumes and nuts, extra-virgin olive oil and moderate amounts of dairy foods and white meat, and low amounts of red and processed meats as well as discretionary foods. Red wine is enjoyed moderately, socially, and with meals.
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet is linked with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases and promotes wellbeing and healthy ageing. It may be a less expensive diet than other diets such as the Western diet and environmentally sustainable.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide new insights into the Mediterranean diet and human health, and we encourage authors to submit their research or reviews that will help to better elucidate this area of research.
Dr. Karen Murphy
Guest Editor
