The Green Mediterranean Diet is a plant-forward variation of the traditional Mediterranean diet that emphasizes polyphenol-rich foods, reduces red and processed meat, and includes nutrient-dense plant foods such as Mankai. Researchers from Ben-Gurion University and Harvard University compared a traditional Mediterranean diet with a Green Mediterranean Diet with Mankai over an 18-month period for its potential benefits on heart health, blood sugar balance, liver health, gut microbiome function, and healthy aging.
