Exercise interventions in healthy insulin resistant and diabetic humans have consistently demonstrated improvements in insulin action, weight loss. There isn't a single intervention that can do all of those things so effectively. It's really about variety, regularity and how you can fit an exercise regime into your day to day that doesn't interfere with your life. A 12-week aerobic exercise program of 45 to 60 minutes of moderate intensity five times per week significantly reduced the risk of developing diabetes.
In today’s solo episode and I’ll be talking about insulin resistance, how this impacts your risk of disease and why insulin resistance could drive many chronic conditions and why certain lifestyle measures work for improving metabolic health.
