Mediterranean Diet Combined With Exercise Reduces Diabetes Risk

Eating a calorie reduced Mediterranean diet together with lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 31%.

"Applied at scale in at-risk populations, these modest and sustained lifestyle changes could prevent thousands of new diagnoses every year. We hope soon to show similar evidence for other major public health challenges," Martínez-González continued.

To determine whether a Mediterranean diet with reduced calories could be beneficial in preventing type 2 diabetes , the researchers split the participants into two groups.

In comparison, the second group lost 0.6 kg (1.3 pounds) and just 0.3 cm (0.1 inches) of waist circumference.
