“Other evidence demonstrates that sulforaphane provides protection from methylglyoxal, a critical player in the pathogenesis of advanced glycation end products, prominent features of diabetes and major contributors to amyloid-beta aggregation in the brain.”

“A person at a normal body weight can still have increased visceral fat, liver fat, low muscle mass, insulin resistance, abnormal lipids, hypertension, or diabetes. Excess visceral fat is metabolically active.”

“Chronic inflammation creates reactive oxygen species that damage DNA, cellular proteins, and lipids. This type of inflammation plays a key role in the development of many diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.”

“Even small bursts of movement—10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes—can regulate blood sugar better than a 30-minute walk. Studies have shown that 150 minutes of exercise per week was nearly twice as effective as metformin in preventing type 2 diabetes.”

“In contrast, a five-week trial in 181 people with diabetic polyneuropathy found that oral alpha-lipoic acid improved symptom scores, with more nausea, vomiting, and vertigo at higher doses. PQQ has a much smaller human evidence base.”

“Metformin, a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, has garnered interest as a longevity compound because it was shown to extend lifespan in some animal models. These effects are variable and seem to depend on the age and gender of the animals, as well as the dose provided.”

“Its fitted models associated one vigorous minute with risk reductions similar to about four moderate minutes for all-cause mortality, eight moderate minutes for cardiovascular mortality, and nine moderate minutes for type 2 diabetes.”

“Visceral fat is stored deep in the abdomen around internal organs and is closely associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.”

“The small study supports those outcomes under its specific protocols, but it does not establish that high-intensity interval training is superior for every population or that it prevents type 2 diabetes. Muscle-biopsy evidence also shows that adaptation can begin quickly.”

“A practical prevention plan combines gradual aerobic and resistance exercise with blood-pressure monitoring, lipid and diabetes assessment, smoking avoidance, sufficient sleep, and clinician-guided treatment when indicated.”
