“…Therefore, antioxidants provide an important role in maintaining cellular resilience and improving overall health, especially in individuals involved in strenuous exercise such as sports. To comprehend the complexities of oxidative protection in the realm of sports and nutrition, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the primary categories of antioxidants (Table 1) [44]. Role: Polyphenols, a wide range of antioxidants, contribute to the vivid hues of fruits and vegetables [76,77].…”

The intricate interplay between plant-based nutrition, antioxidants, and their impact on athletic performance forms the cornerstone of this comprehensive review. Emphasizing the pivotal importance of dietary choices in the realm of sports, this paper sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of how stress and physical performance are interconnected through the lens of nutrition. The increasing interest among athletes in plant-based diets presents an opportunity with benefits for health, performance, and recovery. It is essential to investigate the connection between sports, plants, and antioxidants. Highlighting the impact of nutrition on recovery and well-being, this review emphasizes how antioxidants can help mitigate oxidative stress. Furthermore, it discusses the growing popularity of plant-based diets among athletes. It elaborates on the importance of antioxidants in combating radicals addressing stress levels while promoting cellular health. By identifying rich foods, it emphasizes the role of a balanced diet in ensuring sufficient intake of these beneficial compounds. Examining stress within the context of sports activities, this review provides insights into its mechanisms and its impact on athletic performance as well as recovery processes. This study explores the impact of plant-based diets on athletes including their types, potential advantages and challenges. It also addresses the drawbacks of relying on plant-based diets, concerns related to antioxidant supplementation and identifies areas where further research is needed. Furthermore, the review suggests directions for research and potential innovations in sports nutrition. Ultimately it brings together the aspects of sports, plant-based nutrition, and antioxidants to provide a perspective for athletes, researchers and practitioners. By consolidating existing knowledge, it offers insights that can pave the way for advancements in the ever-evolving field of sports nutrition.

“…To date, the role of diet in MS has not been comprehensively investigated. Nutrition could be considered as a potential and effective preventive co-factor, negatively affecting the inflammation cascade by implicating both its molecular mechanisms and the intestinal microbiome in MS patients [27][28][29]. There are also several pieces of evidence that nutritional status can exert a crucial impact against neurodegenerative diseases, including MS [27][28][29].…”

There are also several pieces of evidence that nutritional status can exert a crucial impact against neurodegenerative diseases, including MS [27][28][29]. Notably, individuals with MS follow a more restricted diet compared with healthy individuals, while iron levels are significantly decreased in individuals with MS, with the most decreased levels noted in patients with advanced stage MS [30].…”

“…Notably, individuals with MS follow a more restricted diet compared with healthy individuals, while iron levels are significantly decreased in individuals with MS, with the most decreased levels noted in patients with advanced stage MS [30]. A careful nutritional assessment of individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, as well as appropriate nutritional intervention and support, are highly fundamental in monitoring their disease [27][28][29]. Notably, there are several studies which indicate favorable health impacts for energy-restricted/intermittent fasting diets, a ketogenic diet, and a modified paleolithic diet.…”

Background: The Mediterranean diet (MD) is well-known as a diet which may exert a protective effect against neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). To date, only a few clinical surveys have assessed the potential effects of the MD in patients with MS. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the potential effects of MD compliance on disease disability, quality of life, physical activity, depressive symptomatology, and blood biochemical parameters related to nutritional status in MS patients, considering several socio-demographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle characteristics. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 558 adults with MS aged 18–64 years. Relevant questionnaires were utilized to evaluate socio-demographic and anthropometric parameters, disease disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale, EDSS), multidimensional health-related quality (MS Quality of Life-54, MSQOL-54), physical activity levels (International Physical Activity Questionnaire, IPAQ), depression (Beck Depression Inventory II, BDI-II), and MD adherence (MedDietScore), while several blood biochemical parameters were retrieved from the patients’ medical records. Results: Enhanced MD compliance was independently associated with a decreased frequency of overweight/obesity, as well as abdominal obesity, in patients suffering from MS. Elevated MD compliance was also independently associated with a decreased incidence of advanced disease disability, a higher prevalence of elevated physical activity, an improved quality of life, and lower depressive symptoms, as well as higher levels of certain blood biochemical parameters, which are effective indicators of iron deficiency and malnutrition. Conclusions: The present study found that higher MD adherence may slow down disease disability, promoting a better quality of life and mental health in adults with MS. Future prospective surveys are required to obtain conclusive results.

“…The interplay between lifestyle, metabolic health, and chronic diseases has become increasingly relevant in our modern health landscape ( 1 ). The prevalence of sedentary behaviors, alongside dietary excesses, has led to a surge in metabolic disorders, including diabetes and metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) [previously known as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD)] ( 2 ).…”
