Exercise Important in the Battle Against Type 2 Diabetes

“More Americans have type 2 diabetes than ever before. And never have so many been at risk for developing this potentially debilitating and sometimes fatal disease. Studies show that up to 80 percent of the cases are preventable with increased physical activity, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle. At a minimum, proper diet and exercise can help control type 2 diabetes and sometimes delay onset. Exercise helps the body use glucose for energy, keeping blood sugar at healthy levels. Exercise also helps people maintain their weight so they don't become obese, which puts them at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Those who are beginning exercise should start off slowly. Once exercise becomes habit, you'll kick yourself for not having started sooner. But you'll need to stick with it long enough for it to become habit.

Health clubs offer a variety of exercise options in a single location.”
