The research suggests these lifestyle changes impact cardiovascular health by altering the colon’s bacterial composition and metabolite production.
The Mediterranean diet has long been associated with positive gut microbes and metabolites, yet its effect on the fecal metabolome is poorly understood.
The traditionalMediterranean diet involves a high intake of vegetables, fruits, legumes and nuts, moderate consumption of fish, low consumption of meat, moderate alcohol and extra virgin olive oil as the primary fat source.
Greater adherence to theMediterranean diet correlates with beneficial gut bacteria and metabolites, attributed to increased fiber-degrading species and anti-inflammatory responses.
However, its effects on gut microbiota and plasma metabolome are inconsistent across studies, with unclear impacts on cardiovascular disease risk factors.
The intervention affected four stool metabolites, primarily composed of bile acids, ceramides, sphingosines, fatty acids, carnitines, nucleotides and purine and Krebs cycle metabolites.
The study involved 400 participants aged 55 to 75 at high cardiovascular risk, and data were collected at baseline and after a year.
