Mediterranean Diet Combined with Lifestyle Changes Reduces Diabetes Risk by 31%

A recent study, co-authored by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, indicates that following a Mediterranean-style diet while also reducing caloric intake, engaging in moderate physical activity, and receiving professional support for weight loss can significantly lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). According to the study, this combination of factors can result in a 31% reduction in the risk of T2D. The findings highlight the potential benefits of adopting a Mediterranean diet and making lifestyle changes to prevent the onset of this chronic condition.
