Magnetic Field and Alternative Approaches in the Treatment of Obesity and Type-2 Diabetes

Obesity and Type-2 Diabetes (Type-2 DM) are metabolic diseases leading morbidity and mortality in developed and developing countries worldwide. This phenomenon has led scientists to investigate new alternative pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for controlling and preventing Obesity and thus Type-2 DM. The aim of obesity treatment is to reduce obesity related morbidity and mortality risks by aiming at a realistic loss of body weight, to provide adequate and balanced nutrition habits and to increase quality of life. Scientific studies are proceeding in the direction of determining the therapeutic place of non-pharmacological treatments, as non-invasive magnetic field applications, which are an integral part of our lives with in developing technology and new pre-prophybiotics, which have many positive effects on health and play a role in nutrition as well as alternative pharmacological treatments of Obesity and Type-2 DM. The aim of this review is to explain the place and importance of new alternative pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches in the treatment of obesity and type-2 DM
