“…Carotenoids, such as Lycopene are found in vegetables and fruits namely tomato, watermelon, and guava contain increased amounts and dietary consumption of lycopene reduces the oxidative stress [37]. Its anti-inflammatory and protective properties are linked to the large presence of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, but especially to the constituents of extra virgin olive oil: oleic acid, phenolic compounds and olecanthal [38].…”

“…As stated, Lycopene shows a beneficial role in multiple diseases due to antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. Its advantageous contribution is also extended to chronic diseases [37]. Lycopene improves cognitive functions in Alzheimer's disease due to this antioxidative effect as it protects the oxidative damage of mitochondrial enzymes and prevents apoptosis [37].…”

Since ancient times, the quality of nourishment is a milestone for the maintenance of health and as it is stated ‘prevention is better than cure’, amongst the so-called ‘healthy’ diets Mediterranean diet (MD) claims the lion’s share. It stands in good stead because of a variety of valuable macro- and micronutrients. So, adherence to a MD is associated with the reduction of inflammation and non-communicable (NCD) OR chronic diseases. Numerous studies try to scrutinize the role of MD components as regards reducing inflammation, lowering rate, and mortality for disorders and illnesses, and preventing NCD. MD regime of the inhabitants of the Mediterranean basin includes a variety of ethnic nutritional habits and regulates an array of effects and epigenetic changes that affect human wellbeing. The research is still ongoing and endeavors to elucidate every aspect of this issue. This review focuses on the impact of MD on inflammation highlights positive results regarding NCD and indicates the need for more high-quality experiments and trials in order to overcome any discrepancies.
