Environmental factors, obesity, an unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and genetic factors contribute to the multiple pathophysiological disturbances that are responsible for impaired glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetes. But insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion remain the core defects. (1)

Diet recommendations and nutrition counseling at CTCA are aimed at moving individuals towards a plant-focused diet. Most, if not all, population-based dietary guidelines advise consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes or lean sources of animal proteins as the foundation for a healthy diet. The World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research’s Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer: A global perspective Continuous Update Project Expert Report-2018 recommends this dietary approach for cancer risk reduction. These types of foods contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, which may protect cells from damage that may lead to cancer. In addition, a plant-based diet may help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy body weight, which is a critical risk factor that must be addressed in cancer survivors.
Different Dietary Approaches

A healthy diet is one in which the various food groups are well balanced. If someone increases their consumption of fruit, vegetables, bread and potatoes by 50% of their current levels, then carbohydrates would supply 50% of dietary energy and be a substitute for a reduced intake of fat.

Elevated BP is known to have a direct log-linear relationship with the risk of CCVD, beginning at a SBP of 115 mm Hg or DPB of 75 mm Hg [1]. Myocardial infarction (MI), angina, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm are common comorbidities directly caused by elevated BP. The risk for such comorbidities is often compounded by the presence of additional cardiovascular disease risk factors (i.e. smoking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, chronic kidney disease, genetics, increased age, low socioeconomic status, male sex, obstructive sleep apnea, and psychological stress) [1]. Hypertension also has a direct relationship with the risk of ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and subarachnoid hemorrhage [1]; however, data clarifying the risk in athletes is lacking. Hypertension is the single most important risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage [8]. A large meta-analysis showed that BP in excess of 160/90 mm Hg resulted in a nine-fold increase in the risk for intracerebral hemorrhage [9], though this data is not specific to athletes and may represent persons who are on average older and likely have preexisting hypertension. Vigorous exercise has been identified as a trigger for subarachnoid hemorrhage – both aneurysmal and non-aneurysmal – in most studies [10–12]. In the United States, hypertension causes more CCVD deaths than any other modifiable risk factor [13] [14–16].

The obesity and underweight both are contributed by several factors and they can be combated through psychological support, physical activities, and healthy eating patterns. About 500 to 750 kcal need to be reduced by overweight and obese people. A healthy diet should include fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, whole grains, and a moderate amount of non-fat dairy products. The diet needs to be low in total meat, refined grains, sugar-sweetened beverages, and sodium. Eating nuts helps in maintaining optimum weight (O’Neil et al. 2015). To preserve lean tissue during weight loss, sufficient protein needs to be taken in the diet (Phillips et al. 2016). To lose weight faster, smaller portions of food and food with lower energy density can be chosen. A Mediterranean eating pattern is compatible with a healthy weight loss. Avoiding alcohol is another step towards weight loss. It is suggested to eat small and frequent meals to maintain weight. Drinking lots of water ease hunger and reduce the intake of energy.

A healthy diet – high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, moderate in milk and dairy products, and low in meat and meat products, sodium, and sugar-sweetened beverages, is protective against diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and all-cause mortality risk (Schoufour et al. 2018; Sotos-Prieto et al. 2015; Wang et al. 2016). An individual’s adherence to a healthy diet depends on several factors, such as age, sex, income, physical activity, and sleep (Arcila-Agudelo et al. 2019; Papadaki and Mavrikaki 2015; Xie et al. 2003). Of these, sleep [particularly the sleep-wake cycle, which is partially regulated by the circadian system (Richardson 2005)] has been found to be associated with dietary patterns as well as diet quality (Azarmanesh 2014; Baron et al. 2011; Thellman et al. 2017). Furthermore, evidence from animal experiments and human studies suggests that sleep deprivation can influence dietary intake by bringing about changes in the secretion of satiety-related hormones, i.e., ghrelin and leptin (Al Khatib et al. 2017; Lundahl and Nelson 2015; Noorwali et al. 2019; Potter et al. 2016).
