HOW TO REDUCE DIABETES VIA EXERCISE
The importance of different modes of exercises in patients with type 2 diabetes is due to
◆ Increasing uptake of glucose by muscles
◆Altering lipid levels
◆Increasing high density lipoprotein
◆Decreasing triglyceride and total cholesterol
Different Studies shows that about one hour of moderate-intensity or half hour of #vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, such as brisk #walking, with no more than 1 or 2 days off in a row, reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes regardless of the degree of adiposity.
Combined #diet and #physical activity promotion programs are effective at decreasing diabetes incidence.
1️⃣ Start with a preliminary #resistance exercise: It can be done for 1–2 days per week, and for 15–30 minutes per session.
2️⃣ Practicing an #aerobic exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes per session of 5 days per week.
3️⃣ Doing a regular resistance exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes per session of up to 2 or more days per week.
Some useful aerobic exercises:
▪️Walking for 30–60 minutes, three times per week is a great and easy way to increase physical activity.
▪️ Swimming helps to stretch and relax muscles
▪️ Though it is not easily accessible for all diabetics individuals, stationary #bicycling indoors is another useful form aerobics exercise

▪️ Exercising against gravity
▪️ Exercising against the resistance of water
▪️ Exercising against a resistance band
▪️ Exercising with weight
