About

Life style changes, particularly in dietary patterns have contributed a great deal to the incidence and risks of type 2 Diabetes. Decreased intakes of vegetables and fruits replaced by pre processed food, added sugar and those of animal origin lead towards rapid increase of adult-onset-diabetes.

In spite of the knowledge of the benefit of consuming vegetable and fruits, and people are well informed, they still need to be committed to perform a behavior and implement these intention. Behavioral approach methods have demonstrated successful adherence in health education with life style changes.
