Ways Exercise Can Manage Type 2 Diabetes
>> Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Research and personal testimony have disclosed a list of benefits. Just by including workouts every week, you can lose weight, lower cholesterol, build muscle, lower blood pressure and get more energy.
In addition, recently, I've seen testimonials from individuals practicing the newly discovered 7 Minute Workout techniques say that it has lowered their blood sugar levels. While 7 Minute Workout also uses diet, exercise has played an significant part.
A major advantage of exercise in controlling diabetes is the fact that it improves your body's use of insulin.
Ordinarily, the pancreas releases insulin when the amount of sugar in the bloodstream grows. This occurs after eating, for example. The increase in insulin results in the absorption of excess sugar by the muscles and liver., which results inlower blood sugar.
When you workout, the body needs additional energy (glucose) for the exercising muscles. The glucose that is stored in the liver and muscles can be released for fuel.
But, enough from me, let's hear it from the horse's mouth.
Paul Douglas, a 7 minute student, explains the results he gets by working out only 7 minutes a day, 3 times a week and following the systems suggestions on diet.
- "Last night after work my sugar was 6.4. Today three hours after lunch it was 6.5 (Normal is between 4-6 here in Canada). A far cry from the 15.6 reading I had ten days ago. Proof that smart diet and exercise will allow you to control diabetes instead of diabetes controlling you. (Sorry, I don't know how to convert it to US measurements.)"
Paul is a conscientious man, so his experience may not be yours.
However, a combination of exercise, diet and other lifestyle changes may help control type 2 diabetes.
