Ways Exercise Can Manage Type 2 Diabetes
By Gloria Reibin
Physical workouts can, not only accelerate your health and fitness, it can also help normatize Type 2 Diabetes.
Studies and personal testimonials have shown a host of benefits. Just by adding exercise each week, you can lose weight, lower your cholesterol, build your strength, normalize blood pressure and gain energy.
In addition, lately, I've found recommendations from men and women practicing the newly discovered 7 Minute Workout program insist that it has lowered their blood sugar levels. While 7 Minute Workout also uses diet, exercise has played an crucial 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 rises. 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 improvement he experiences in his blood sugar levels by doing exercises 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 person, so his experience may not be yours.
However, combining workout, eating habits and other changes can be able to curb type 2 diabetes.
