If exercise becomes a routine, it will certainly have a good effect on the physical health as well as the mind. But weight lifting has been suggested for diabetics which may benefit them more.
According to Indian news channel NDTV, daily exercise helps cells in the body use glucose more efficiently, which keeps blood sugar levels low. Weight-bearing exercises in particular strengthen the muscles, allowing more glucose to be stored in the human body and improving overall metabolic efficiency.
Below are the benefits that diabetics can get by doing weight bearing exercises.
1: Insulin sensitivity
Weight-bearing exercises improve insulin sensitivity in the body and cells in the body begin to use glucose more efficiently.
This happens because the release of glucose from the muscles increases during exercise and thus lowers blood sugar levels.
As insulin sensitivity improves, the body does not need more insulin or other medications, which is especially good for people with type 2 diabetes.
2: Better control of blood sugar levels
Regular weight-bearing exercises can help stabilize blood sugar levels, allowing the body to store more glucose.
This improved storage capacity helps reduce spikes in blood sugar levels, especially after meals.
3: Muscle strength
Diabetics often suffer from muscle weakness due to uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Weight-bearing exercises strengthen muscles and make them stronger. Strong muscles improve overall metabolism.
4: Fat reduction
Weight-bearing exercises reduce body fat. Lower body fat levels reduce fat accumulation in and around vital organs and improve metabolic health.
5: Decreased blood pressure
Diabetics are more likely to suffer from hypertension, but weight-bearing exercises improve heart health by lowering blood pressure.
