Makes me wonder if the benefits of Mediterranean diet are actually from the herbs they use.
Parsley is high in luteolin and they often chop large amounts of fresh herbs into salads and meat dishes. The SAD diet doesn’t tend to have as many herbs.
Let’s all start adding handfuls of fresh herbs into every meal and see the effect. I have heard that herbs have 1000x the amount of beneficial compounds than the same weight of veges.

The Carotenoids such as lutein in these parts are mostly indicated for the treatment of degenerative diseases of the retina such as retinitis pigmentosa without success. They say that the best for this purpose is Crocin present in saffron (crocus sativus) grown in a mountainous region.
I have been taking Luteolin for about four months, but I haven't noticed much of a difference yet. Although, healing the brain is a long and slow process.
Exactly. See An Update of Palmitoylethanolamide and Luteolin Effects in Preclinical and Clinical Studies of Neuroinflammatory Events.
PEA possesses a powerful neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory power but has no antioxidant effects per se. For this reason, its co-ultramicronization with the flavonoid luteolin is more efficacious than either molecule alone. Inhibiting or modulating the enzymatic breakdown of PEA represents a complementary therapeutic approach to treating neuroinflammation. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of ultramicronized PEA and co-ultramicronized PEA with luteolin in several neurological diseases using preclinical and clinical approaches.
It's the same pattern every time. A research study is being discussed here that once again shows a beneficial effect of a component found in vegetables, herbs, and fruits on PD. In this case, it appears that proven PD diets like the MIND diet or the Mediterranean diet are rich in luteolin. LAJ1234 even adds a link that lists some top choices. Among these, various pepper varieties are highlighted, although you can't consume too much of them. However, at the top of the list, with a clear lead, is Radicchio, which you can enjoy in generous portions!
But to my surprise, the comments are not about the foods, cultivation methods, or recipes. No, instead, they focus on which brand of pills or supplements is best to buy on Amazon. Oh, we are so outraged about the pharmaceutical industry, yet we find it perfectly normal to spend billions on dietary supplements. It shouldn't be! Just stick to a normal, well-balanced, and varied diet. It's good for your wallet, helps with constipation, and contains hundreds of substances that will be discussed in the coming years!
I agree, that’s why I posted the link to the foods. However I have never seen a red radicchio for sale here so there goes that option. Parsley looks like out best bet.
I was trying to see how much is in the foods vs how much is in the supplements too.
Ah, it appears seeds are available here so I could try to grow some radicchio but that may or may not be successful. Mmm wrong season here to plant
I'm a fan of supplements because they concentrate the active ingredient we're looking for. I have a sensitive stomach and there's no way I can eat enough veggies to get a therapeutic dose of some of these compounds.
If you have a sensitive stomach and struggle with eating vegetables and fruits, you might consider taking supplements. They can help you get a hefty dose of » some of the compounts ». However, it's always better to givre whole foods a shot because the mbo contain other essential nutrients and fibers, which can do wonders for your digestion and overall health. Maybe they're even more important for your PD diet! You can try eating small amounts of different vegetables and fruits to see which ones your stomach tolerates better. For example, pumpkin, bell peppers, carrots, eggplants, celery, and broccoli.
Certain cooking methods, like boiling or steaming, can make the veggies more digestible. And let's not forget the magical powers of a blender. You can even whip up a delightful broccoli cream soup using those old plants that have been standing in the field all winter. In fact, that's how they make baby food for sensitive little tummies too, and they don't give them supplements either! Bon appétit!"
