Dyslipidemia/obesity

Diabetes

•  Antihypertensive effect brought about by exercise does not require antihypertensive drugs (1-1)(1-2)

• When systolic blood pressure is 143 mm Hg or less, antihypertensive drugs are unlikely to be effective (1-3)

• 3 g daily salt reduction is comparable to antihypertensive drugs (1-4)

• Excessive salt restriction is unnecessary. Lowest risk of death with sodium intake of 4,500 mg and salt intake of 11.4 g (1-5)

• People who spend a lot of time sitting have a higher risk of dying. On the other hand, running a total of 4 hours a week can offset the risk of death (2-1)

• Moderate to vigorous exercise for 40 minutes per week reduces the risk of death by approximately 40% compared to those who rarely exercise (2-2).

• ​Mediterranean diet good for long-term weight loss and lowest rebound (2-3)

• Lifestyle improvement is more effective than administration of metformin (an antidiabetic drug) for patients with prediabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (3-1)

• Replacing trans fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acids is the best way to reduce the risk of developing diabetes (3-2).

• When looking at the course of type 2 diabetes with a lifestyle prescription, it led to a reduction in medical expenses of 803 dollars a year on average compared to conventional medical care. (3-3)
