Diet and Nutrition Reverse Type 3 Diabetes and Accelerated Aging Linked to Global Chronic Diseases

The acceleration in the rate of chronic diseases that involve insulin resistance has become of global concern. The rate of the most prevalent chronic disease such as cardiovascular disease is linked to the metabolic syndrome, non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and other chronic diseases that include obesity, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. The gene-environment interaction in Western countries indicates that with urbanization access to food and its content may lead to induction of epigenetic alterations and identify the gene Sirtuin 1 (Sirt 1) to be responsible for the increased risk for insulin resistance and NAFLD relevant to Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 diabetes in these countries. Nutrigenomics is linked to neuron and liver telomere maintenance, cell division and tissue growth and has become important with essential nutrients that regulate Sirt 1 function important to prevent NAFLD in individuals with diabetes. Nutrigenomic diets, exercise, drugs and lifestyle changes regulate Type 3 diabetes with neuron Sirt 1 transcriptional responses associated with DNA modifications that regulate brain insulin resistance relevant to NAFLD and diabetes.
