Did you know that losing just 5 percent of your body weight can reduce your chance of developing diabetes by as much as 70 percent? I know, shocking, right? That’s what happens to your body when you commit to a regular workout and movement routine. There are mental and physical advantages to exercising that apply to people of all ages and genders. Diabetics can exercise normally; the only exception is that they should check their blood sugar levels before and afterward. Talk to your doctor about your fitness goals and current health status before beginning any new physical activity. This additional effort must not be used as an excuse to avoid physical activity. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of exercise for people with diabetes, as well as the first steps you should take in developing a regular exercise routine.
Diabetes may be made worse by inactivity.
Feeling exhausted all the time makes you want to avoid physical activity. Many people with diabetes believe that the only thing they can do to control their disease is to take medication or receive insulin injections. Even while it’s obvious that living with a chronic condition like diabetes makes some things more challenging than others, it’s still possible to get some sort of physical activity every day, whether it’s a 20-minute walk in the park, gardening, or yoga asanas. One of the worst things you can do if you have diabetes is to neglect your physical health and become increasingly inactive. It also raises the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, obesity, joint pain, high blood pressure, and mental health issues.
Diabetic patients can benefit from exercise.
Putting these cons aside, let’s talk about the potential benefits of exercise for those with diabetes. Consistent exercise can:
increase your body’s receptivity to insulin, which will aid in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.
maintain a healthy weight to enhance your health and vitality.
The risk of cardiovascular disease and nerve damage can be reduced by managing stress.
avoid diabetic complications
Methods for beginning an exercise programme while managing diabetes
Consult your medical professional. Consult your physician before beginning an exercise programme. The doctor will be able to recommend an activity plan that is appropriate for your current sugar levels. You can visit our EliteAyurveda or Diabetes Reversal Clinic or speak with a doctor via the website. Following an in-depth interview, they will advise you on the best yoga postures, breathing exercises, and nutritional plan for your unique needs.
Don’t try to kill two birds with one stone by diving headfirst into a 30-minute cardio session on day one of your new exercise plan. It’s important to ease into a fitness routine and maintain it consistently. You can work up to a 30-minute walk in a month by beginning with a 5- to 10-minute walk. Take the stairs instead of the lift, or walk to nearby destinations, or walk the dog.
Pay attention to your body: glucose levels before and after exercise are vital checks to make. If your blood sugar is below 100 mg/dL or beyond 250-300 mg/dL, you shouldn’t exercise. In the event that you are feeling lightheaded, short of breath, disoriented, or in discomfort, you should have a snack. Warming up, cooling down, and stretching before and after an exercise can help you avoid injuries and muscular pain, all of which can reduce your drive to continue working out.
This piece of advise, especially for those of you who don’t enjoy exercising, may sound daunting, but trust us, it’s not. As soon as you establish a routine, it will become second nature and integral to your daily existence. Get started by recruiting a friend or family member to be your workout buddy.
You don’t have to join a gym to get in shape or enjoy some physical activity. Practising pranayama/breathing methods is a great way to unwind and reap many health benefits; you can do this while dancing with your kids at home or playing with them at the park.
