Physical Fitness Is Important
There are many ways to bring down your blood glucose levels, but the easiest and most effective way to do this is to improve your health through exercise and fitness. There was a time when individuals use to look forward to working out, but as we move further away from physical lifestyles it is becoming more evident day by day that this is not the case.
Leading an inactive lifestyle can lead to many physical ailments. It is even thought that it is a key reason for the surge of type 2 diabetes in the US (obesity promotes insulin resistance along with other issues).
Exercise should be a common practice. In the United States of America research has shown that only thirty percent of the adult population gets 30 minutes (this is recommended) of physical activity daily!
Remember, your physical destiny is in your hands. It is never too late to change. Exercise is a tried and true method that can help you not only improve your overall fitness, but lower your risk for heart disease and contribute (along with a proper diet) to weight loss.
According to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (2003), a lack of exercise and fitness were found to be major factors behind diabetes and obesity (conclusion found through an extensive study).
This is more than enough reason for a person to consider a fitness routine or exercise schedule. Not only could it improve your overall lifestyle, but can contribute to your general health and physical appearance.
The first step to change is sometimes the hardest. I always recommend beginning with your doctor or health care provider. There are many factors to consider when coming up with a proper plan of action (especially if you suffer from a heart condition), and your primary care physician will know your situation best.
Certain exercises could be damaging to you, and depending upon your situation could actually do more harm than good. Also, certain diseases will also play a key factor into the types of exercises you can place within your program. This is why your health care provider is an excellent resource and starting point.
Depending upon your conditions, your doctor could make a referral to a specialist (ex. physiologist). The specialist could than tailor a program that will help you maximize your efforts (even with a condition or disease).
In conclusion, physical fitness can enrich your life providing you with good health and peace of mind. You will have peace in knowing you are doing everything within your power to take control of your destiny, and take care of your body. You only have one life to live, make the most of it. For further information, I would recommend researching the topic at your local library or on-line. Also, your physician (or specialist) can recommend further reading material that can help you to tailor a program to your personal needs. And, you can always check in at your local gym and speak with a trainer. Information is power, and the more you have the better equipped you will be to maximize your time and effort.
