Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes

One of the most undemanding and the most workable ways to knock over
blood sugar amount, eliminate the dangers of “cardiovascular disease,”
and perk up health and welfare in general is exercise.
In spite of that, in today’s inactive world where almost every
indispensable job can be carried out online, from the ergonomic chair in
front of a computer, or with a streaming line of messages from a fax
machine, exercising can be a hard argument to win over.

The good news is that it is never too late to get moving, and exercise is
one of the easiest ways to start controlling your diabetes. For people
with type 2 diabetes in particular, exercise can improve insulin
sensitivity, lower the risk of heart disease, and promote weight loss.

Diabetes is on the rise. The number of people diagnosed with diabetes
every year increased by 48% between 1980 and 1994. Nearly all the new
cases are Type 2 Diabetes, or adult-onset, the kind that moves in around
middle age. Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes include increased thirst,
appetite, and need to urinate; feeling tired, edgy, or sick to the
stomach; blurred vision; tingling or loss of feeling in the hands.

The causes of type 2 diabetes are complex and not completely understood,
although research is uncovering new clues at a rapid pace. However, it
has already been proven that one of the reasons for the boom in type 2
diabetes is the widening of waistbands and the trend toward a more
deskbound and inactive lifestyle in the United States and other developed
countries. In America, the shift has been striking; in the 1990s alone,
obesity increased by 61% and diagnosed diabetes by 49%.

For this reason, health experts encourage those who already have type 2
diabetes to start employing the wonders that exercise can do for them.
Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that over
80% of people with type 2 diabetes are clinically overweight. Therefore,
it is high time that people, whether inflicted with type 2 diabetes or
not, should start becoming more active.

Its hard to get started, and hard to think of something that may prove to
be long term to gain the good health that one wants. It is certainly
easier to think in terms of weeks or days. In this vein, I suggest that
one consider short term trial programs of 30 days or less and check for
improvement. It your body, your health, your life - what do you have to
lose?
