Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a global metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia resulting from insulin resistance or insufficient insulin secretion. The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes, linked strongly to poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles, has led to a growing interest […]
Introduction Nutritional interventions refer to the strategic use of diet and food-based practices to prevent or manage diseases and improve overall health. These interventions are particularly vital in chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and obesity. With the increasing global […]
Introduction Diabetes mellitus, especially type 2 diabetes, has become a global health crisis affecting hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide. As the prevalence continues to rise, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, nutritional therapy has emerged as one of the most effective […]
Introduction Plant-based diets have gained significant popularity in recent years, not only for ethical and environmental reasons but also for their potential health benefits. With a growing body of scientific evidence, these diets have been linked to lower risks of chronic diseases […]
Abstract Low-fat diets have been widely promoted for decades as a nutritional strategy to prevent obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Characterized by a reduction in total fat intake—particularly saturated and trans fats—and an increased proportion of carbohydrates and proteins, low-fat diets aim […]
