This article discusses the latest research supporting the Mediterranean diet (also known as the “Macro Diet”) and its impact on microvascular health and preeclampsia. The full study titled Mediterranean-Style Diet and Risk of Preeclampsia […] published in the Journal of the American Heart Association April 2022 can be found here. In this large population study from 1998 to 2016, the authors examine the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and preeclampsia, as well as related hypertensive and kidney disorders.
The authors of the study conclude that the benefits of the Mediterranean-style diet are likely due to improvements in oxidative stress and endothelial cell function. This is further supported by our own research using Endocalyx Pro, a nutraceutical that utilizes Mediterranean diet substrates to improve microvascular health.
Our studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet, when paired with Endocalyx Pro, can help lower blood pressure and improve the Microvascular Health Score (MVHS) calculated by the GlycoCheck tool. This is due to the improved microphysiology and micronutrition mechanism of action (MOA) that leads to a higher density and capacity of capillaries, resulting in greater blood flow to all organs and increased Nitric Oxide (NO) production.
However, it’s important to note that those on hypertensive medications should consult with their healthcare provider before starting Endocalyx Pro, as the improvement in microvascular health may result in a need for adjustments to their medication regimen.
The authors of the Mediterranean diet study suggest the need for further research, but we believe that this can be done faster and with better results using the GlycoCheck Tool and Endocalyx Pro. By using this focused micronutrition intervention, studies can be designed with smaller subject groups, blinded comparisons, and quicker results.
Experience the benefits of the Mediterranean diet for yourself by incorporating Endocalyx Pro into your daily routine. Improve your microvascular health for a better overall systemic blood pressure with the help of this clinically tested nutraceutical.
Start your journey towards better microvascular health today with Endocalyx Pro, the perfect complement to the Mediterranean diet.
