Popis: Recent meta analysis shows that adherence to a mediterranean diet can significantly decrease the risk of overall mortality, mortality from cardiovascular diseases, as well as incidence of moratlity from cancer and incidence of Parkinson s and Alzheimers diseases. All of these diseases could be linked to axidative stress as antioxidative effect of MD is getting more attention nowaday.
