A Specialized Diet for Multiple Sclerosis

This study examines the impact of a Mediterranean diet on individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a multifactorial disease in which environmental factors, such as nutrition, can influence disease progression. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether a healthier dietary pattern, specifically a flavonoid-rich Mediterranean diet, can affect disease parameters.
