Abstract
Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, has become a significant global health concern. The prevalence of diabetes has been on the rise in recent decades, reaching epidemic proportions. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximately 463 million adults were living with diabetes in 2019, and this number is projected to increase to 700 million by 2045 [1].
Amidst this alarming trend, it has become increasingly clear that dietary and lifestyle factors play a crucial role in the development and management of diabetes. Extensive research has highlighted the strong link between these choices and the risk of diabetes occurrence.
The purpose of this article is to delve into the impact of dietary and lifestyle choices on the occurrence of diabetes. By examining scientific studies and evidence-based research, we aim to shed light on the specific choices individuals can make to reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
Throughout this article, we will explore various aspects such as the role of diet, the influence of specific foods and nutrients, the importance of physical activity, and the significance of maintaining a healthy body weight. By understanding the relationship between dietary and lifestyle factors and diabetes, individuals can make informed choices to prevent or manage this chronic condition.
