Abstract: The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the barriers and facilitators to healthy eating among young people. A literature search was conducted in multiple databases, resulting in 30 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Data were extracted and quality assessed. Results suggest that key barriers to healthy eating among young people include cost, lack of access to healthy food options, time constraints, and taste preferences. Facilitators to healthy eating include parental influence, nutrition education, and availability of healthy food options. Young people expressed a desire for healthy food options and recognized the importance of healthy eating. Synthesizing the results, interventions targeting cost, access, and education may be beneficial for improving healthy eating behaviors among young people.

Abstract: Diabetes is growing more common in the Indian population as a result of lifestyle changes. This study looks at the impact of naturopathy, salt-restricted low-calorie diets, and yoga on long-term glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes type 2 is a huge worldwide health concern. According to the World Health Organization, diabetes, predominantly type 2, affects 5.2 percent of the world's adult population. India now boasts the world's greatest number of persons with type 2 diabetes, with a prevalence of 10.4 percent and a population of about 19 million people. India is expected to experience the greatest increase in incidence worldwide by 2045. (84 percent increase). This increase is related to an increase in life expectancy as well as lifestyle changes such as eating less healthy foods and being inactive. To minimise an increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, countries must enhance prevention. The current review focuses on diabetes care using naturopathy.
