Mediterranean Diet (MD) is currently considered one of the most healthy dietary models worldwide. It is generally based on the daily intake of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish, white meats, and olive oil. It may also include moderate consumption of fermented dairy products, a low intake of red meat, and red/white wine during the main course. Even if the effect of MD on cancer prevention as well as on human metabolic and cardiovascular balance has been discussed, including the quality of life of the exposed population, the putative effects on mental health are still not properly investigated. This narrative review reports on some emerging pieces of evidence on the possible impact of MD on general health and the outcome of psychiatric disorders (., major depression, anxiety) and encourages further studies to test the benefits of healthy food selection on the health of the general population.
地中海饮食（MD）目前被认为是全球最健康的饮食模式之一。它通常基于每日摄入水果、蔬菜、全谷物、豆类、坚果、鱼类、白肉和橄榄油。它还可能包括适量食用发酵乳制品、少量摄入红肉以及在主餐时饮用红/白葡萄酒。尽管已经讨论了地中海饮食对癌症预防以及人类代谢和心血管平衡的影响，包括对受影响人群生活质量的影响，但对心理健康的假定影响仍未得到充分研究。本叙述性综述报告了一些新出现的证据，这些证据表明地中海饮食对总体健康以及精神疾病（如重度抑郁症、焦虑症）的结果可能产生影响，并鼓励进一步研究以检验选择健康食物对普通人群健康的益处。
