30-Minute Trick LOWERS Your Blood Sugar

It works even if you’re insulin resistant 

When people talk about diabetes, they usually talk about it with the other “D” word… diet. 

But there’s another factor that can have just as big of an impact on managing—or preventing—type 2 diabetes.  

Studies show that it can promote better blood sugar control AND help you lose weight—two of the most significant risk factors associated with diabetes. 

In fact, studies indicate it can provide 24-hour blood glucose control. 

I’m talking about exercise. 

The most obvious way that exercise helps prevent diabetes is by promoting weight loss, since excess weight is the main risk factor associated with type 2 diabetes. 

But exercise can also help you manage your blood sugar levels. 

You see, studies show that exercise helps increase insulin sensitivity. This means that it makes your cells more responsive to insulin, which removes sugar from your bloodstream and puts it into your cells to be used as fuel. 

In fact, exercise can help lower your blood sugar levels even if you’re insulin resistant. 

That’s because contracting your muscle cells during exercise allows them to take in glucose even if there’s no insulin available. 

Isn’t that remarkable?  

These benefits can last for up to 24 hours! 

Overall, studies have shown that regular aerobic exercise can help lower your blood pressure and your HbA1c levels—and it’s also been linked to a drastically reduced risk of an early death in people with type 2 diabetes. 

On the flip side, NOT exercising can increase most of the risks associated with type 2 diabetes. 

The bottom line: whether you’re trying to prevent diabetes or control it, exercise is your ticket to better blood sugar levels. 

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise five days a week.
