iabetes is one of many diseases in which prevention and treatment are essentially based on proper nutrition. The cross-sectional study's objective was to determine how dietary patterns affected anthropometric measurements, hemoglobin A1C test (HbA1c), Fasting Blood Sugar level (FBS), and Lipid profile among Egyptian patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T 2 DM). One hundred and two patients (48 female and 54 male) who participated in this study were chosen from the National Diabetes Institute's outpatient clinic. The participant's subjective nutritional assessment using anthropometric and dietary parameters and laboratory data on their lipid profile, HbA1c, and FBS levels. According to the results, there was a positive correlation between inappropriate nutritional habits, anthropometric measurements and blood lipids, and glucose levels, for all participants with higher obesity levels, uncontrollable blood glucose levels, lower-than-normal levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were observed in the female group, so nutritional education and physical activity should be a constant, integral and indispensable part of the therapeutic procedure in type 2 diabetes to improve nutritional habits which will simultaneously reflect in an improvement of the anthropometric measurements (BMI), blood lipids and glucose level.

s an improper or excessive buildup of body fat, obesity is one of today's most pressing public health concerns as the condition is linked to so many dangerous illnesses and disorders. The purpose of this research was to assess how modifications to eating habits affected the factors that were linked to obese women's outcomes. Design : It is a quasi-experimental design; one group was pre-and after the diet control. Setting : Nutritional clinic in National Liver Institutes, Menoufia University, Egypt. Subjects : One hundred women with obesity, ranging in age from 35 to 50, were chosen at random. Study instruments : One of them was structured by interviewing questionnaire, and the second, an anthropometric assessment and body composition were performed by using a Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) device. The third, is lipid profile, liver functions, CBC, etc. were determined. Results: The percentage of BMI reduction was about 20% while fat composition was between 14 to 21% according to the body fat position. The reduction percentage of tested biochemical parameters between the pre and post-test protocol study was in the range of 15-23 %. Serum Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity, and Transferrin Saturation values were significantly (P value 0.05) improved at the range of 12 - 17%. Conclusion : Modification of obese women's diet represented beneficial ways to reduce body weight, BMI, body fat composition, and the tested biochemical parameters. Recommendation : Women ought to regulate their inactive lifestyles and engage in healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and routine physical activity to prevent obesity.

atural plants can help treat some diseases and are a great source of vitamins and minerals for the body. Objective: research the use of moringa, saffron, and curcumin to treat animals from aluminum poisoning. Thirty-five male albino rats weighing around 170 ± 10g were divided into 5 groups (7 rats/ each) as follows: The main first group was kept as a negative control and was fed on the basal diet only. The second main group (28 rats) after six weeks of feeding a normal diet supplemented with aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 ), was divided into four subgroups fed AlCl 3 and treated plants for a further four weeks. The first was a positive group that consumed a normal diet with AlCl 3 . A basal diet mixed with AlCl 3 + Moringa (100 mg/kg diet) was provided to subgroup 2. The consumption of a basal diet combined with 15 mg/kg of saffron and AlCl 3 supplied subgroup 3. A basal diet mixed with AlCl 3 and curcumin (0.5 g/kg diet) was given to subgroup 4. The findings showed that the plant with the greatest potential to reduce aluminum toxicity was saffron, while moringa improved liver and kidney functions and curcumin helped ameliorate the lipid profile. In conclusion, employing these natural plants can reduce the severity of aluminum poisoning.

ne of the most prevalent chronic liver illnesses, fatty liver is frequently accompanied by other metabolic disorders such as obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, poor fat metabolism, and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. Sprouts are a great source of antioxidants, necessary amino acids, and a variety of healthy vitamins and minerals. For this study, 30 albino rats were employed. They were split into 6 groups; the first group served as a negative control group and was fed a standard diet, while the other groups were provided a high-fat diet to induce fatty liver. The remaining rats were divided into four groups and fed 5 and 10% of lentil and pea sprouts for 28 days. One of them was still suffering from fatty liver and was administered a base diet as a positive control group. T he chemical build and total phenolic and flavonoid content of pea and lentil sprouts. Additionally, estimates were made for body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), the feed efficiency ratio (FER), kidney and liver functions, blood sugar levels, insulin hormones, and the levels of lipid peroxidation (MDA), and antioxidant enzymes. The findings demonstrated that, in comparison to lentil sprouts, pea sprouts had a greater positive impact on the investigated parameters; the level of 10% was noticeably higher than the value of 5%. Therefore, sprouts of peas and lentils are the most widely prescribed and the most effective agents for improving fatty liver.
