A recent study has found that a Mediterranean diet combined with exercise can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in older adults. 

Participants following a calorie-reduced Mediterranean diet and engaging in moderate exercise had a 31% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes over six years compared to those who only followed the diet.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like olive oil. The study showed that participants in the intervention group also experienced modest weight loss and reduced belly fat, contributing to the decreased diabetes risk.

The research underscores the importance of combining dietary changes with physical activity and professional support for weight loss. 

Wil Lutz kicked a 39-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Denver Broncos to a thrilling 33-32 win Sunday over the stunned New York Giants, who took a shutout into the fourth quarter.

The Broncos (5-2) trailed 26-8 with just over 5 minutes remaining but scored on a 7-yard Bo Nix scamper, R.J. Harvey’s 2-yard catch, an 18-yard keeper by Nix and Lutz’s game-winner after Jaxson Dart seemingly broke the Broncos’ hearts with a 1-yard TD with 37 seconds left that gave New York a 32-30 lead.

Jude McAtamney missed his second extra point of the afternoon, however, and after Tyler Badie returned the kickoff 19 yards to the 23, Nix found Marvin Mims for 29 yards and Courtland Sutton for 22.

With no timeouts remaining, Nix and the offense raced to the line of scrimmage at the Giants 21 and spiked the ball with 2 seconds left.

The snap was high but Lutz nailed the field goal to secure Denver’s fourth consecutive win overall and NFL-best eighth straight at home.
