An expert has named one of the most effective diets.
Doctor of Medical Sciences, endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova spoke about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
The doctor shared her opinion on her Telegram channel.
The basis of the Mediterranean diet is vegetables, fruits, fish. Also, olive oil is used instead of sunflower oil.
The amount of sugar and fat is reduced to a minimum.
Also, with this diet, alcoholic beverages are completely or partially abandoned.
And this type of diet, as a recent study has shown, has a beneficial effect on the reproduction of unique intestinal bacteria.
What is so unique about them? Scientists have found that these bacteria are useful in the context of improving memory and cognitive functions.
This diet allows you to control your weight more effectively than the Western diet.
The latter includes a large amount of carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods.
These products usually contain a lot of salt, sugar, fat, artificial flavors, thickeners and emulsifiers.
Often such products have a longer shelf life.
