There is no doubt that exercise is GREAT for the body. But for warding off diabetes (Type 2, at least) doesn’t take THAT MUCH exercise. A new study has revealed that “brief but intense exercise every day or two may help reduce the risk of diabetes.”
How little? As little as 30 seconds of exercise that intensely works the muscles. Apparently just that little amount of exercise can help with insulin resistance.
While this study gives some light on insulin resistance, we shouldn’t forget that the real benefit of exercise (on our hearts and lungs) comes with 30-minutes of exercise three to four times a week.
