What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of adding pyramidal exercise to an intermittent fasting regimen on alleviating eye dryness in obese patients suffering from chronic plaque psoriasis and prediabetes. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to either a group receiving only intermittent fasting or a group that combines intermittent fasting with pyramidal training exercises. The intermittent fasting will involve a 5:2 diet, where participants eat freely for five days and restrict calories on two non-consecutive days. The exercise component will consist of structured running sessions on a treadmill, supplemented with warm-up and cool-down activities, conducted three times a week for two weeks.
