1 in 6 persons living with diabetes is alarmingly high — and if projections hold true, this number is only going to rise, possibly double by 2050.
What’s even more concerning is that this statistic doesn’t include the thousands who are undiagnosed or those who are already prediabetic and progressing silently along the diabetic spectrum.

This is a national crisis that demands urgent action — not just from our health system, but from each of us.

Disrupt your sleep 💤

Raise your blood pressure ❤️‍🩹

Increase your risk for diabetes and heart problems over time 🩸

Your body recharges best with sleep, water, and nourishing food — not a late-night can of energy.

Visceral fat is the most dangerous type of body fat because it is biologically active and acts like an endocrine organ, meaning it secretes hormones and chemicals that can harm health.

Visceral fat surrounds vital organs deep in the abdomen and releases cytokines that promote inflammation and increase the risk of heart disease. It also causes the body to become less sensitive to insulin, leading to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, visceral fat produces a precursor to angiotensin, a protein that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure, increasing the likelihood of hypertension and cardiovascular problems.

A recent (Nature, 2025) cross-sectional study including 10,000 adults from NHANES data examined the ratio of lean body mass to visceral fat mass (LMI/VFMI) and its link to cardiometabolic health. The study confirmed that People with a higher lean mass to visceral fat ratio had significantly lower risks (70-90% lower odds) of these cardiometabolic disorders.

These associations persisted even after adjusting for age, s*x, lifestyle, socioeconomic factors, and medication use.

Another Nature published study found visceral fat to be crucial in predicting the onset of metabolic syndrome, which involves risk factors such as abdominal obesity, hyperglycaemia, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia, and is becoming a serious problem worldwide.

Reducing visceral fat through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes is vital for lowering risks of serious conditions, disease prevention, and improving overall health. Studies have consistently highlighted that resistance training, aerobics, and HIIT lead to a significant reduction in VF content.

After an amputation, physiotherapy is vital because without it, a prosthesis can become useless.
Rehabilitation happens in two main stages: the pre-prosthetic phase and the post-prosthetic phase. In the pre-prosthetic phase, the physiotherapist helps the patient heal the wound, reduce swelling, strengthen the remaining limb, and keep the joints flexible to prepare for possible prosthesis use.
In the post-prosthetic phase, therapy focuses on training the patient to use the artificial limb correctly, improving walking, balance, strength, and confidence.
Not all patients are good candidates for a prosthesis, which is why a proper evaluation by the physiotherapist and the rehabilitation team is very important.
The level of rehabilitation also depends on the patient’s goals. Some people may simply aim to return to daily independence, while others may train to become athletes or even Paralympians.

Overall, physiotherapy guides each patient toward the best possible quality of life after an amputation.
