Nutrition, Physical Activity and Alternative Therapies in Diabetes and Obesity

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled “Nutrition, Physical Activity and Alternative Therapies in Diabetes and Obesity”.

Diet and physical activity are modifiable lifestyle factors associated with metabolic health. In fact, exercise is the most effective non-pharmacological tool to prevent and treat metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. The present Special Issue will help to improve understanding of the effects of exercise, whether alone or in combination with nutritional interventions, in obese and type I and type 2 diabetes patients mellitus. In addition to exercise and nutrition, this Special Issue will look at other potential alternative therapies, such as heat therapy, multidisciplinary interventions, etc. Papers describing the effects of exercise, nutrition and alternative therapies on health, as well as their impacts on changes in metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress, microbiota, gene and protein expression, body composition, and cardiovascular function, are welcome. 

We encourage all researchers to submit original research papers, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses for publication in this Special Issue to broaden our knowledge and open new research avenues.

Prof. Dr. Maurício Da Silva Krause
Guest Editor
