Abstract The Mediterranean Diet (MD) has garnered increasing attention for its potential protective effects against gastric cancer (GC). MD’s rich content of antioxidants, polyphenols, and other bioactive compounds contributes to ability modulate gene expression, inhibit tumor growth, regulate apoptosis. Studies have shown significant reductions in inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) among individuals adhering the MD, suggesting pivotal role mitigating chronic inflammation-associated with development. Furthermore, anti-angiogenic properties, particularly components like olive oil, red wine, fish, tomatoes, offer promising avenues reducing GC risk by inhibiting angiogenesis. Additionally, influence on intestinal microbiota composition underscores maintaining immune homeostasis systemic inflammation, factors crucial prevention. Despite challenges variability dietary adherence scoring systems need further gender geographical-specific studies, evidence supports MD a cost-effective holistic approach Emphasizing nutrition public health is strategy broad implications global prevention initiatives. Therefore, this review explores multifaceted impacts prevention, delving into anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, molecular mechanisms.

The Very Low-Energy Ketogenic Therapy (VLEKT) is a structured, multi-phase dietary regimen characterized by carbohydrate intake of less than 50 g/day and daily caloric fewer 800 kcal, which induces ketosis facilitates significant weight loss. Evidence suggests that this nutritional therapy can improve glycemic control, lipid profiles, blood pressure, making it promising option for managing type 2 diabetes (T2D) reducing cardiovascular risk. These benefits are achieved through reductions in triglycerides low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), alongside increases high-density (HDL-c). However, the effects VLEKT on metabolism remain controversial. review emphasizes urgent need further research to validate long-term safety efficacy VLEKT. It also highlights critical role personalized plans, supervised healthcare professionals, optimize health outcomes address individual patient needs.
