description

Exercise can be the most powerful medicine in the management of chronic diseases especially diabetes. Exercise very effectively makes our cells more sensitive to insulin thereby balancing and lowering blood glucose. It promotes weight loss, especially the abdominal fat—so dangerous for our health. Exercise lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation, improves sleep, improves digestion, etc. We will explore smart, fun, exercise for optimum BG control.

•  10,000  steps  each  day  (smart  phone  app  or  pedometer  to  track)    •  Begin  integrating  intervals:  Walk  fast  for  30  seconds  then  slow  the  

pace  for  90  seconds.    •  Then  begin  integrating  strength:  Use  a  park  bench,  a  boulder,  or  

tree  to  push  your  body  weight  against.    Push-­‐  ups,  pull-­‐ups,  squats,  dips,  etc.
