30 Minutes A Day To Combat Type 2 Diabetes

Let’s see… 30 minutes. That is all it takes to lower your risk for heart disease, help combat type 2 diabetes, lower blood pressure, increase energy, lower cholesterol and help to beat cancer.

You don’t need to spend hours at the Gym and spend thousands of dollars on equipment, just get yourself out there for a brisk after dinner walk and use some cheap sand dumbbells or soup cans. Heck, I even use my kids as a barbell sometimes and do sit ups with them on my legs.

Studies have shown that simply walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes or more on most days can lead to significant health improvements. Add simple strengthening exercises two or three times a week and the benefits are even greater.

My big thing is that the exercise not only lowers my blood sugar but gives me that physical release that I need. Oh boy, do I need it.
