The Upside of a Greener Mediterranean Diet
In a recently published study, investigators behind the DIRECT-PLUS clinical trial randomly assigned 294 participants with abdominal obesity/dyslipidemia into three diet groups (all accompanied by physical activity): standard healthy dietary guidelines (HDG), standard Mediterranean, and the so-called green Mediterranean diet.

Both Mediterranean diet groups were calorie restricted and called for 28 g/day of walnuts (+440 mg/day polyphenols provided). However, the green Mediterranean diet was further supplemented with 3-4 cups/day of green tea and 100 g/day of Mankai (a Wolffia globosa aquatic plant strain) in the form of frozen cubes turned into a green shake that replaced dinner (+1240 mg/day total polyphenols provided). The percent change in intrahepatic fat content was quantified continuously by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. NAFLD was defined as an intrahepatic fat content of > 5%.
