“…In Japan, the mean intake of total flavonoids; flavan-3-ols, isoflavones, flavonols, flavanones and flavones was approximately 1500mg/day, mainly from green tea, soya foods, onion, leafy vegetables and fruits [30]. Thus the total flavonoid in the Japanese diet is comparable with flavonoid contents in the Indo-Mediterranean diet (1500 verses 1800 mg/day), respectively, which make these diets potential source of flavonoid consumption, for cardiometabolic protection [7,30].…”

“…These characteristics of diets are not so much, in the Mediterranean and DASH diet as well as in the Japanese diet, due to presence, although low, of red meat, preserve meat, refined foods and egg in these diets [3][4][5][6]. The superiority of Indo-Mediterranean diet over other cardio-protective diets is also clear from randomized, controlled trials which found that treatment with such diets was associated with significant decline in CVDs including heart failure and arrhythmias as well as all-cause mortality [7][8][9][10]. Adverse effects of animal foods and refined foods have also been reported more recently in cohort studies [42].…”

“…The majority of fat consumed in Japan is rice bran oil, whereas in Mediterranean countries, its olive oil and from unsaturated sources [3,4]. It has been found that all the special types of diets may safe guard against the risk of CVDs and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) [4][5][6][7][8]. The Japanese diet is naturally rich in fish, seaweed, green tea, soy, fruits, and vegetables but low in added sugar, fat, and other animal protein.…”

“…However, the main features of the Indo-Mediterranean diet are higher in whole grains, spices and mustard oil, apart from fruits and vegetables and fish to non-vegetarians. The Indo-Mediterranean diet has been found protective against CVDs [7][8][9][10]. It is proposed that whole grain content, in particular antioxidants in various diets may explain, at least in part, the differences in cardio-protective potential of these diets.…”

The Seven Country study showed that traditional Japanese diet and Mediterranean diets are protective against cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Japanese diet is considered the healthiest because it provides highest longevity and health to Japanese. DASH diet and Mediterranean style diets are also considered the healthy diets, although, it is possible that Indo-Mediterranean style diet may provide better protective effects among patients with CVDs, compared to other diets. The concept of Indo-Mediterranean type of diets was developed, after examining its role in the prevention of CVDs in India, the value of which was confirmed by a landmark study from France; The Lyon Heart Study. These workers found that eating alpha-linolenic acid rich Mediterranean style diet can cause significant decline in CVDs and all-cause mortality. Later on in 2018, PREDIMED Study from Spain also reported that a modified Mediterranean style diet can cause significant decline in CVDs, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cancer. The Indo-Mediterranean diet may be superior to DASH diet and Mediterranean diet because it contains millets, porridge, beans and spices; turmeric, cumin, fenugreek and coriander which may have better anti-inflammatory and cardio-protective effects. These foods are rich sources of nutrients; flavonoids, calcium and iron as well as proteins which are useful in the prevention of under as well as over-nutrition and related diseases. It is known that DASH diet and Mediterranean style diets have similar influence on CVDs. However, Indo-Mediterranean style diet, may be as good as Japanese diet, due to improved food diversity and high content of antioxidants in the diets.

Dietary patterns and cardiometabolic health: Clinical evidence and mechanism

For centuries, the search for nutritional interventions to underpin cardiovascular treatment and prevention guidelines has contributed to the rapid development of the field of dietary patterns and cardiometabolic disease (CMD). Numerous studies have demonstrated that healthy dietary patterns with emphasis on food-based recommendations are the gold standard for extending lifespan and reducing the risks of CMD and mortality. Healthy dietary patterns include various permutations of energy restriction, macronutrients, and food intake patterns such as calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, Mediterranean diet, plant-based diets, etc. Early implementation of healthy dietary patterns in patients with CMD is encouraged, but an understanding of the mechanisms by which these patterns trigger cardiometabolic benefits remains incomplete. Hence, this review examined several dietary patterns that may improve cardiometabolic health, including restrictive dietary patterns, regional dietary patterns, and diets based on controlled macronutrients and food groups, summarizing cutting-edge evidence and potential mechanisms for CMD prevention and treatment. Particularly, considering individual differences in responses to dietary composition and nutritional changes in organ tissue diversity, we highlighted the critical role of individual gut microbiota in the crosstalk between diet and CMD and recommend a more precise and dynamic nutritional strategy for CMD by developing dietary patterns based on individual gut microbiota profiles.
