TL;DR

This narrative review synthesizes evidence that dietary components, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil, possess anti-inflammatory properties. It discusses how these dietary choices may modulate inflammatory pathways relevant to the development and outcomes of various neurological disorders.

Full summary

591 CHARS

The central thesis is that dietary components rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, such as those found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil, can help reduce oxidative stress and modulate inflammatory pathways. The review also discusses the role of the gut microbiome, which is influenced by diet, in the gut-brain axis and its potential impact on conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and depression. The implications suggest that dietary interventions could be a non-invasive strategy to support neurological health and reduce disease risk.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Neurological diseases are recognized as major causes of disability and mortality worldwide. Due to the dynamic progress of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), Schizophrenia, Depression, and Multiple Sclerosis (MD), scientists are mobilized to look for new and more effective methods of interventions. A growing body of evidence suggests that inflammatory processes and an imbalance in the composition and function of the gut microbiome, which play a critical role in the pathogenesis of various neurological diseases and dietary interventions, such as the Mediterranean diet the DASH diet, or the ketogenic diet can have beneficial effects on their course. The aim of this review was to take a closer look at the role of diet and its ingredients in modulating inflammation associated with the development and/or progression of central nervous system diseases. Presented data shows that consuming a diet abundant in fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs, spices, and legumes that are sources of anti-inflammatory elements such as omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, vitamins, essential minerals, and probiotics while avoiding foods that promote inflammation, create a positive brain environment and is associated with a reduced risk of neurological diseases. Personalized nutritional interventions may constitute a non-invasive and effective strategy in combating neurological disorders. Keywords: inflammation, anti-inflammatory diet, nutrition intervention, neurological diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, mental disorders
