How Does Exercise Help Type 2 Diabetes?
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.
Normally, the pancreas releases insulin whenever a large amount of sugar in the bloodstream increases. This happens after a meal, for example. The insulin causes the liver and muscles to absorb the excess glucose, which ends in the lowering blood sugar levels.
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 very motivated individual, so his results may not be yours.
However, combining workout, eating habits and other changes can be able to curb type 2 diabetes.
