Chapter 6 - Exercise: Use It Or Lose ItWant More Info? Search HERE
news stands and supermarkets. After researching several of them for more than a year, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the real, scientific research that’s performed and referred to by most professional body builders. They, as a rule, have a great understanding of nutrition in a healthy person (not type II diabetics, however,) and know their exercise physiology extremely well, even if their exact opinions vary within the profession. Whatever you decide to do for your regular exercise routine, the most important thing is that you do chose something. Choose a form of exercise that you enjoy and that you can stick with on a regular basis. Long-term consistency will produce the greatest benefits. Understand that this will NOT be an exercise program just to help you lose a few pounds and then you can stop. This will be a part of your diabetes therapy for as long as you have diabetes. You should consider it a regular and all-important ritual for your entire lifetime. You’ll have to work other aspects of your life around your exercise program rather than just trying to fit it into your current habits wherever you can. It absolutely must be assigned one of the highest priorities in your life. If something in your schedule must be changed for special occasions, don’t even consider omitting your exercise – ever – unless you’re in the hospital and just can’t move! Even then, do what exercise you can do. Use it or lose it! Exercise to keep your bones and body strong. Exercise to give yourself more energy on a regular basis. Exercise to help control your weight. Exercise to feel and be healthier and happier. And, as a type II diabetic, exercise to help manage and control your blood sugar levels in a healthy, drug-free way.
