Abstract

In this Chapter, new strategies aimed to fight against Diabesity, from a holistic point of view, will be reviewed. A psychological approach to this pathology is needed, aiming to understand the factors behind the food choices of individuals, which will help establish actions that modify the taste preferences of the population. A pharmacological approach is necessary when nutritional or physical activity has failed, or in the case of concomitant pathologies, and efforts are made to better mimic the normal physiological fluctuations of insulin to avoid insulin peaks and the consequent hypoglycemia. The current studies revised training exercise point to the aerobic exercise, maintained over time, to improve glucose uptake and use by muscle cells.

Keywords: Diabesity, Diabetes, Diet, Exercise, Microbiota, Polyphenols, Obesity, Treatment.
