4 Ways to Increase Physical Activity and Reverse Diabetes

Researchers and health care providers note that increasing physical activity and exercising regularly can have a significant effect on controlling or even reversing diabetes. Exercise that targets blood sugar control is the most effective and this is what the Diabetes Reversal Plan helps you to achieve.

1. If you are sedentary, add a 10-minute walk to your routine everyday, and then increase this to 15 minutes. Each day try to walk a little more briskly to the point that if you are able to jog you can do so.
2. After one month you should increase the intensity of your workout as well as vary the routine. In the Diabetes Reversal Plan a workout system called Tabata that requires just 12 minutes is recommended. Pages 52 and 53 of the report give details of the workout system.
3. Research in diabetes and sports medicine journals note the value of adding some weight training to your weekly exercise and emphasize how much this can improve blood sugar and increase muscle mass.
4. Vary the exercise. If walking is what you are capable of doing, then stick to that, but if your health care provider approves other forms of exercise, like swimming, running, cycling, use of a cardio-machine or anything that adds high intensity, then by all means add it to your routine.
