I agree that diet and relevant physical activity are crucial in preventing diabetes. Regular consumption of functional foods, like vegetables, fruits, fish, olive oil, and nuts, might be related to enhanced anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, insulin sensitivity, and anti-cholesterol functions, which are viewed as integral to preventing Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (Alkhatib et al., 2017). Another step that is generally seen as crucial to take is reconsidering consumed drinks. Polyphenols within metabolic diseases (MD) and polyphenol-rich herbs, such as coffee, green tea, or black tea, have shown clinically significant benefits. They influence metabolic and microvascular activities, cholesterol, fasting glucose-lowering, anti-inflammation, and anti-oxidation in high-risk and T2DM patients (Alkhatib et al., 2017). Moreover, patients should supply themselves with devices that are intended to monitor their glucose levels. Flash glucose monitors (FGMs) and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are the available devices that can help patients manage their disease more effectively (Fagherazzi & Ravaud, 2019). All the approaches mentioned above will help patients prevent and manage diabetes.
I support the idea that Urinary Incontinence treatment depends on the water consumption schedule. Fluid-management strategies promote frequent intake of small amounts of fluid, for instance, 4-5 oz/hour, up to 2 L a day of predominantly water instead of large, episodic fluid intakes (Lukacz et al., 2017). A timed water schedule may help to reduce the involuntary loss of urine. In addition, losing extra weight may help as well. A randomized clinical trial of a 6-month structured weight loss program vs. education alone in 338 obese women reported a 47% reduction in mean incontinence episodes compared with a 28% reduction in the control group (Lukacz et al., 2017). Moreover, physicians should not ignore the importance of providing psychological support to patients. Most recent reports indicate that a physiotherapy procedure gives a positive result in up to 80% of patients with stage I or SUI and mixed form and 50% of patients with stage II SUI (Kołodyńska et al., 2019). Timely consultation with a doctor can help prevent serious consequences.
