Exercise and Control Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that can strike anyone. It basically is a disease related to the pancreas. Its onset means that the pancreas are not working at full capacity and the result is an excess sugar in the blood stream. This brings its own problems and at an advanced stage the only solution is to take a dose of insulin every day. This can be a tedious process.

However in case one follows a diet and exercise regimen right from younger days, the chance that you will be stricken by the disease becomes pretty remote. The clue to preventing diabetes is eating the right foods and more important doing exercise regularly. The exercise part is in my view the most important and just cannot be obviated.

Modern life style is fast paced and a lot many people just go to office, slog there and then hit the bar and eat up anything and then tired,they just plop on the bed. This life style has its repercussions and one of these is obesity. A combination of obesity and lack of exercise is a warning that you can be a prey to diabetes.

Obesity in particular is quite harmful as the extra weight on you body means that your body organs have that much extra work to do. In addition this fact of obesity is also directly related to lack of exercise and the food you eat. Out of these, exercise is the most important.

Exercise involves a vigorous work out. The effect is that the body is toned, the excess calories burned up and all the organs of the body work at optimum levels. The body metabolism responds favorably to exercise and a good work out will do wonders.The clue is to be fairly regular in your exercise regime. The question is how much exercise is required. This is really a personal equation, but it is a good idea to have a work out for at least 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week. You will have to find time for this activity.

In case you are fond of swimming or cycling or running on the treadmill,so much the better. Any of these exercises will keep you body fit and fine. As far as foods are concerned concentrate on cereals and fruits. Lean meats and fish will do you good. Avoid fried foods and in case feasible use pure desi ghee as a cooking medium or better still olive oil.

A combination of these activities from a young age will ensure that you remain fit and healthy for a long time into your golden years when you age. But even if you have not exercised from your young age, you can start exercise at any age. But build up momentum slowly so that the body gets accustomed to the new rigors.
