How does Mediterranean Diet work?
Reduces systemic inflammation via high polyphenol and omega-3 content. Supports gut microbiome diversity (important for oestrogen metabolism via the oestrobolome). Reduces insulin resistance through low glycaemic load foods. Olive oil polyphenols inhibit LDL oxidation. High fibre content supports cardiovascular and metabolic health.
