Aging is physiological, but the diseases that accompany it are preventable. Nutrition and lifestyle can curb immunosenescence and preserve immune health.

TCM supplementation has potential in sports, weight control, and specific clinical conditions.

The sharp and rapid weight loss induced by GLP-1 analogs, especially when not accompanied by adequate nutritional support, may result in loss of muscle mass.

Being overweight significantly increases the risk of developing various chronic diseases and represents an enormous cost to the health system.

Adequate electrolyte replacement, especially sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride, is critical to mitigate the effects of dehydration and prevent disorders such as hyponatremia associated with exercise.

Some nutrients and bioactive compounds found in foods stimulate the secretion of GLP-1 (a peptide similar to glucagon type 1), a fundamental hormone for the regulation of blood glucose, appetite and gastrointestinal motility.

It has adaptogenic action, increasing resistance to physical and mental stress without increasing oxygen consumption or negatively affecting metabolism.

The importance of body composition and phase angle, as assessed by BIA, in patients with DM1 lies in the fact that changes in cellular integrity and body compartments can affect risk profiles and metabolic control.
