Type 2 Diabetes and Exercise

Posted on December 3, 2008

Just in case you don’t believe me about exercise being good for you:

“Cross -sectional, retrospective, prospective, and interventional epidemiologic research, including studies of enforced inactivity, provide strong evidence that regular exercise reduces type 2 diabetes risk in adolescents and adults.”1

Reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes is just one of the benefits of regular exercise.  I promise, there are plenty more. 

Get some.

    @James Hubbard, M.D., M.P.H. Yeah, I think there are quite a few. Now if we could just help people do start doing it…

    It makes sense right? You exercise a little (or a lot) more and it’s absolutely going to improve your health.

    It really comes down to a life style change. It takes a combination of eating well, exercise, stress release, and more… not just one in itself.
