These benefits are especially pronounced in the population of Crete, indicating that this diet is particularly healthy. Moreover, descriptions of the diets of Greece, Italy, Spain and the Maghreb are given for the first time, pointing to their differences as well as to their common dietary patterns; these are followed by chapters on the nutritional and metabolic contributions of antioxidants, wine, olive oil and fatty acids.

Download or read book Olive Leaf Extract and Its Effect on Upper Respiratory Illnesses in an Athletic Cohort written by Rachel Olivia Moore and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: The upper respiratory illnesses (URI) that result from immune dysfunction in elite sport pose a great threat to the training athlete. Nutritional adequacy is encouraged to prevent these illnesses; polyphenols in particular have been proposed to have immune modulating benefits to the consumer. Olive leaf extract (OLE) is a herbal supplement rich in polyphenols that has gained much anecdotal and in vitro evidence for its immune benefits. Methods: Twenty-nine secondary school aged athletes competing in the highest calibre of their team sport for their age and gender consumed either an olive leaf extract capsule or placebo for 9 weeks. Twice weekly subjective measures of upper respiratory illnesses were administered at the sites of the teams' trainings, meetings or games. Periodic 24-hour written diet recalls were obtained from participants to ascertain nutritional adequacy from an immune perspective. Swab tests were performed for Influenza A & B, RSV and Streptococcus A. Results: OLE significantly reduced the number of sickness days spent burdened by an upper respiratory illness (OR = 0.72 (95% CI 0.56 - 0.93), p = 0.02). No difference was observed between URI incidence between treatment and control (OR=1.02 (95% CI 0.21 - 4.44), p > 0.99). OLE posed no benefit to secondary wellness outcomes such as fatigue and soreness, with unclear clinical inference outcomes. Nutritional quality was similarly adequate across both groups, with the exception of a deficit in carbohydrate intake. Conclusion: OLE may be opted for during periods of heavy training with the intention of reducing the number of days affected by an illness, returning the training athlete to competition faster.
