How regular exercise can help you battle diabetes

Live Mint  

A recent study conducted by Cambridge University researchers has shown that people suffering from Type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of developing as many as 57 other health complications, including cancer and neurological and kidney ailments. The researchers found that Type 2 diabetes was associated with a 2.6 times higher risk of neurological issues, a 2.3 times higher risk of eye problems, 1.9 times higher risk of digestive issues and 1.8 times higher risk of mental ill health. An active lifestyle not just helps us to keep in check diabetes, but also reduces the risk of other metabolic diseases like hypertension, polycystic ovarian disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and dyslipidemia, says Dr. Anupam Biswas, endocrinology consultant at the Fortis Hospital, Noida. In fact, two landmark studies—the Malmo study and the Indian Diabetes Prevention Program—clearly demonstrated the effect of lifestyle modification which includes exercise for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes,” says Biswas.
