Mediterranean Diet

The MD emphasizes a plant-based approach, with a high consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, alongside moderate amounts of fish, seafood, and dairy, while limiting meat, particularly red and processed varieties. Olive oil serves as the main fat source in the diet. In the case of this study participants will also be instructed to limit dairy intake, that although traditionally part of the MD, might exacerbate disease symptomatology in PD patients, likely due to the urate lowering effect of dairy.
