• Walking and Diabetes

    How much walking do I need to do to show positive health outcomes for pre-diabetes
    and type 2 diabetes?

    Any form of physical activity helps: walking, stairs climbing (very good), weight lifting
    (buy dumbbells for home and for office), squatting, solo dancing� (did you know that
    the ancient philosopher Socrates practiced solo dancing to keep himself fit - with 70?).

    The general rule is at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day - each day.

    Most effective is physical activity 45 minutes after a meal - it increases insulin
    sensitivity, the biggest problem if you have prediabetes or diabetes.

    45 minutes after a meal your glucose level rises, so a little workout helps to burn
    glucose.

    5 minutes are better than nothing and 10 minutes are better than 5 minutes. After
    breakfast, physical activity is most required.

    If you are a late breakfast eater, physical activity in the morning is helpful to reduce the
    glucose level which is usually high in the morning.
