<b><i>Background:</i></b> Plant-based diets are defined as an eating pattern focused on the consumption of unprocessed fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, oils, and beans. They can include various forms of vegetarian, vegan, DASH, and Mediterranean diets. Plant-based diets have proven useful in the prevention and treatment of several lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Recently, a growing body of literature has emerged regarding plant-based diets for patients with kidney failure, including those on dialysis. Although evidence is still limited, preliminary findings are encouraging. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> This article reviews current literature on the use of plant-based diets in the treatment of patients on dialysis.

Obesity type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disease in clinical practice, and its prevalence is increasing rapidly with the aging of the population and changes in lifestyle. Acupuncture, as a distinctive therapy, has its unique advantages in the treatment of obesity type 2 diabetes and has an irreplaceable role in a variety of treatment methods. The author organized the literature on acupuncture and its related therapies to prevent and treat obesity type 2 diabetes in recent years and found that acupuncture and its associated therapies to prevent and treat obesity type 2 diabetes mainly include: simple acupuncture, electroacupuncture, acupoint catgut embedding therapy, auricular-plaster therapy and other treatments, all of which can safely and effectively improve clinical symptoms, acupuncture and its related therapies to treat obesity type 2 diabetes has a broad prospect, worthy of further clinical promotion.

Abstract In recent years, the Westernization of dietary habits and increasingly sedentary lifestyle have contributed to a marked increase in the number of type 2 diabetes patients. Sedentary behavior may play a significant role in the development and aggravation of type 2 diabetes. The results of various follow-up studies have demonstrated that proper diet combined with physical exercise is useful in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. A nationwide survey regarding exercise therapy for diabetes patients in Japan revealed that relatively few physicians provide patients with exercise guidance because of time constraints, that the physicians do not receive additional consultation fee, and that there is a lack of specialized physical exercise educators. Physical exercise promotes the utilization of glucose and free fatty acids in the muscles, and thus lowers blood glucose (BG) levels. Dietary restriction and physical exercise are effective in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes by improving the in vivo sensitivity to insulin. Most adults with diabetes should engage in 150 min or more of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic activity per week, spread out over at least 3 days/week, with no more than two consecutive days without activity. Mild-intensity resistance training such as half squat and calf raise is recommended for elderly individuals who have decreased muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia). Prolonged sitting should be interrupted every 30 min for BG benefits, particularly in adults with type 2 diabetes. Individuals with type 2 diabetes are also encouraged to increase their total daily unstructured physical activity (daily movement).
