“…Diet and nutrition are essential to promote and maintain good health throughout life and for many years they have been known to be of crucial importance as risk factors for chronic diseases, making them essential components of prevention activities [ 6 ]. The consumption of foods derived from plant products such as wine, fruits, vegetables, nuts, cereals, legumes, spices and others integrated into the Mediterranean or the DASH diets [ 7 ], is associated with beneficial health effects and a protective role against the development and progression of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) [ 8 ]. The ability of some plant-derived foods to reduce disease risk has been associated with the presence of non-nutrient secondary metabolites (phytochemicals) to which a wide variety of biological activities are attributed [ 9 , 10 ].…”

In support of the J curve that describes the association between wine consumption and all-cause mortality, researchers and the lay press often advocate the health benefits of (poly)phenol consumption via red wine intake and cite the vast amount of in vitro literature that would corroborate the hypothesis. Other researchers dismiss such evidence and call for total abstention. In this review, we take a skeptical, Pythagorean stance and we critically try to move the debate forward by pointing the readers to the many pitfalls of red wine (poly)phenol research, which we arbitrarily treat as if they were pharmacological agents. We conclude that, after 30 years of dedicated research and despite the considerable expenditure, we still lack solid, “pharmacological”, human evidence to confirm wine (poly)phenols’ biological actions. Future research will eventually clarify their activities and will back the current recommendations of responsibly drinking moderate amounts of wine with meals.

“…Therefore, this whole food diet can lead to many physiological changes that may contribute to preserve renal health. Specifically, it can lead to improvements in blood pressure control, plasma lipid profile, systemic inflammation, body weight maintenance [ 10 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. A detailed and up to date composition of Med Diet is presented in Figure 1 , along with guidelines for specific nutrients intake.…”

Can Mediterranean Diet Have a Positive Impact on Kidney Health? A Pending Answer to a Long-Time Question

et al. 2022

Dietary studies conducted in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients were focused on the quantities of single nutrients, however it is possible that the excessive attention put on the restriction of proteins, sodium, potassium and phosphorus may compromise the overall quality of the diet in terms of micronutrients and palatability. Instead, concentrating on the nutritional quality healthy dietary patterns, may provide a better approach to improve nutritional prescriptions in CKD patients. All these dietary regimens share common features as reduced content of red meat, salt and saturated fatty acids, and higher fiber content, but may differ in terms of single nutrients consumption. In particular, Mediterranean Diet (Med Diet) has been associated with reduced incidence of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and obesity, all conditions that are also strictly related to CKD. Given its low content of animal proteins and high contents of fiber it is possible that Med Diet may exert also positive effects on CKD as well as on its metabolic complications. In this review we summarize the role of Med Diet in primary prevention of CKD and on its progression.
