Since 1997, the author has been diagnosed with three chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. As shown in Figure 1, his health reached to a “near collapsed” condition by 2010; therefore, he launched his type 2 diabetes (T2D) research in order to save his own life. From 2012 to 2018, he has collected and processed approximately 1.5M data regarding his own health and body conditions. During 2010–2013, he studied six chronic diseases and food nutrition in depth. In 2014, using mathematics and various engineering modeling, he developed a mathematical model of the human metabolism system, which contains 11 categories and ~500 elements. Currently, as shown in Figure 1, his chronic disease conditions are now under control. This paper described his effort for 8-years in terms of annualized segments with different working methods utilized at different stages. It specifically discusses the relationship and results from weight management via diabetes control to lowering his risk probabilities of having heart attack or stroke. Figure 1 Comparison of Medical Conditions (2010 vs. 2017).

Gout is a common arthritis disease, characterized by high serum levels of uric acid. Many risk factors were found to contribute to the development of the disease. Accumulated evidence has pointed out that gout is highly associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, it has been demonstrated by various clinical studies that upon major weight loss, the risk for the development of gout, as well as the frequency of attacks are reduced in correlation with a reduction in the serum uric acid levels.

Many large observational studies have shown that physical activity and good fitness decrease the risk of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and mortality. Thus, it seems clear that an increase in leisure-time physical activity level and enhancement in cardiorespiratory fitness are ways to reduce the risk of death.1,2 Inactivity is nowadays one of the main causes of cardiovascular disease.3 It was found that a six-month-long inactivity in the Studies resulted in metabolic abnormalities such as an increase in fat mass and visceral fat, and an increase in fasting insulin level, fasting glucose level and small low-density lipoprotein particle number.4 The diverse range of activities carried out by humans for example sitting, standing, walking and talking and by undertaking voluntary physical activity contribute to the overall energy balance. However, physical activity is the only component of energy expenditure that can be modified behaviorally in a significant manner.5 Exercise interventions targeting a broad health response are highly relevant for women of all ages. Given that much of the world’s population is inactive, the association with non-communicable diseases presents a major public health issue. Thus, it is a worldwide challenge to provide initiatives that will get inactive people to become active and increase life healthy in sedentary peoples. Therefore one of the basic items for program training plan is choosing fun activities to create sport situations and competitions that both obviates people’s requirements and leads to the optimum utility and health.6 During the last decades, there has been an increasing interest in the physiological demands of football (soccer) match play and training. Numerous studies have investigated different aspects of the game.7 Researchers have studied the effects of recreational football training as a health-promoting activity for participants across the lifespan. This has important public health implications as over400 million people play football annually.8 Results from the first randomized controlled trial, showed that football increased maximal oxygen uptake and muscle and bone mass, and lowered fat percentage and blood pressure, in untrained men.9 In recent years, the physical loading during small-sided games has also been examined it was found that football training organized as small-sided drills aerobic fitness and intermittent endurance performance were elevated.10 The effect of a period of recreational football has also been examined in middleaged untrained male and female subjects and compared with a similar period of running. they were found that recreational football training stimulated both the aerobic and anaerobic energy turnover during the training of untrained players was shown to be effective leading to significant cardiovascular and muscular adaptations as well as performance enhancements throughout a 12-week training period.8,10,11 In fact, recreation is the l

The speed of eating: In a study in New Zealand the results showed that higher speed of eating is related with higher BMI3 while in a study in Japan the decreases in eating speeds can lead to reduction in BMI.4 This is something that may be related with the fact that when someone is eating fast may lead to the consumption of more food that is needed as he/she does not realize the time he/ she satiates.

The current nutritional issue with the greatest ascent is obesity, taking a hold of individuals of different ages, genders or social classes.1 The prevalence of obesity began to increase in the eighties, being gradual in developed countries with high income and subsequently, a sharp increase reached low income countries, which is the case of Brazil, occupying the third place in absolute numbers of obese people in the last thirty years ( 20 million), behind China (42 million) and the U.S.A. ( 56 million).1 Furthermore, in relation to obesity, we emphasize the increase of central obesity, characterized by an increase in waist circumference due to the preferential storage of body fat in the abdomen is associated to an increase in the risk of developing hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes, resulting in an increase in morbidity and mortality from metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.1,2

There is a growing trend for the use of medicinal plants for a variety of health concerns. One prevalent health concern is obesity. This is perhaps for good reason; in the United States from 2011 to 2012, nearly two-thirds of adults were obese or overweight.1 Both pharmaceutical and behavioral interventions have had a limited success rate, suggesting that prevention may be the ideal approach. Ashitaba, also known as Angelica keiski, is a plant found to contain a class of physiologically active flavonoids known as chalcones, which are abundantly found in the sap and to a lesser extent in the leaf and roots.2–7 Of the more than 20 chalcones that are found in ashitaba sap, two are 4-hydroxyderricin (4-HD) and xanthoangelol (XA).2–5 Specifically, in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the antiobesity and anti-diabetic actions of ashitaba and its associated active chalcones.3 In a recent study, it was found that administration of isolated 4-HD from ashitaba in hyperglycemic KK-Ay mice resulted in modest suppression of elevated blood glucose levels without adverse side effects.5 Compared to the complete suppression of the development of diabetes via pioglitazone administration, daily consumption of ashitaba has been considered beneficial to hyperglycemic individuals not undergoing drug treatment for diabetes.5
