Abstract– Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) and regular physical activity are considered one of the best methods to stay healthy and prevent illness. In this review, we examine how a Mediterranean diet and exercise can be combined to enhance heart health, metabolism, brain power and longevity. The study indicates that the health outcomes of MD adherence coupled with structured physical activity programs are much more when compared to the outcomes of each of these interventions taken separately. The outcomes indicate that risk of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, cognitive decline and general longevity are all greatly decreased. The molecular pathways are improved antioxidant capacity, modified lipid levels, improved endothelial functionality, and anti-inflammatory effects. To achieve the most pronounced positive changes in health, medical professionals need to consider promoting the Mediterranean diet and a physically active lifestyle.
