Prevent Diabetes with Diligent Walk

Each person would not want to have diabetes. Diabetes is a scourge for anyone, no matter men or women. Affect anyone, at any age. Living with diabetes is not very convenient. In addition to causing complications, diabetics also depends on the drug and must be on a diet for life. Therefore, tips to prevent it.

The way is easy, that is by foot. Light activity can reduce the risk of diabetes. As reported by dibetic.org.au. This walk was able to lower blood sugar levels in the body, because it reduces the production of glucose from the liver in people who are obese, insulin sensitivity increases up to 12-24 hours after physical activity and increased high density lipoprotein (HDL - good cholesterol) levels.

A study in Australia get the result that people who walk between 85 minutes up to 3 hours per week, may reduce the risk of developing diabetes by 31%. The intensity of running a routine (5 days per week) for at least 3 hours per week can reduce the risk of diabetes in adolescents to 31 -42%.

Walking is also associated with weight loss can reduce the risk of diabetes. Adolescents who are classified overweight or inactive physical activity has 3 times more likely to get diabetes than adolescents who had normal weight.

By walking 30 minutes a day can improve glucose control, which can help your muscles absorb blood sugar and prevents blockage of blood flow. This effect can last for hours or several days, but not permanent, so that regular walking is required to control blood sugar.

Cardiovascular or heart health is better, because people with diabetes also have an increased risk of heart disease is higher. So by foot, you can also reduce the risk of heart disease.

For starters, start by walking for 5-10 minutes on the first day. Then add 5-10 minutes per week, then increase again to reach the goal for 45 minutes to 1 hour, 5 till 7 days per week. Because it is an ideal time for the maintenance of blood sugar. But the health benefits begin to grow when you are walking 30 minutes per day.

Among those who were less physically active and at high risk of diabetes, people are more likely to walk away apparently more rarely have diabetes. The recommended walk 10,000 steps each day. In every 2,000 steps equals one mile (1.6 km).

According to research published in the journal Diabetes Care, noted that physical activity is essential for preventing diabetes. In fact, light activity such as walking can be a good investment for health.

Several studies have linked it between regular walking with a lower risk of diabetes, but so far have not mentioned how many steps must be performed.

Amanda Fretts, lead researcher from the University of Washington, do some research by asking 1,800 people use pedometers at their waist for a week to see precisely how many steps they walk each day.

The respondents in this study come from indigenous communities in Arizona, Oklahoma, and North and South Dakota, which is known to have low levels of physical activity as well as at high risk of diabetes.

Nearly a quarter of the respondents are very rarely known to move, walk 3500 steps each day, while half were running less than 7800 steps per day.

At the beginning of the study, all respondents did not have diabetes. But re-evaluated after 5 years, 234 people affected by diabetes. Approximately 17 percent of people who suffer from diabetes rarely move. While the group walked more than 3,500 steps per day is only 12 percent of diabetes.

"Our results are not surprising because several other studies have shown that mild physical activity can reduce the risk of diabetes," Fretts said.

He explained that physical activity will prevent obesity as a risk factor for diabetes. Active also have an effect on inflammation, glucose and other molecules in the body which can reduce the risk of diabetes.
