The benefits of exercise for Diabetes

Imagine coping with a metabolic condition where you don’t have to take medications. Exercising 5 days a week (aerobic and resistance training combined) has a positive effect on blood glucose metabolism. Physical fitness can be as effective as glucose lowering medication.

The benefits of exercise for High Cholesterol

Many people who suffer from diabetes are also diagnosed with high cholesterol. The benefits of regular physical activity for diabetes overlap those of high cholesterol. Exercise will increase metabolic activity, lower blood pressure, and contribute to weight loss. As your doctor may have explained to you, a daily exercise regime can lower the levels of bad cholesterol and raise the levels of good cholesterol in your blood stream.
