Can weight training prevent diabetes?

\nThat\u2019s what Harvard School of Public Health researchers found when they followed more than 32,000 men for nearly two decades: Those who reported doing 30 minutes a day of resistance training at the beginning of the study had a 34 percent decrease in their diabetes risk compared with those who didn\u2019t exercise. Men who did 30 minutes a day of aerobic activity had a 52 percent lower risk of diabetes compared with couch potatoes, according to the study published Monday in the Archives of Internal Medicine. <\/p>\n

The best form of exercise when it comes to diabetes prevention? Doing a combination of steady exercise and weight training for at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week. Study participants who did both had nearly a 60 percent reduction in their diabetes risk.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An interesting statement by a doctor later…<\/p>\n

I cannot help but note that none of the time I spend trying to decide whether to increase the dose or add a new medication for my patients with type 2 diabetes is likely to result in a 38 percent reduction in mortality<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, simply getting of your fat ass and engaging in moderate exercise can reduce your chance of dying (from all causes, not just diabetes) of 38%! Yet for some reason Americans seem to find this too much to bear.<\/p>\n

I am not sure what it would take. Exercise in a pill, I guess, is the only way our country can keep from eating itself to death.<\/p>\n

I guess in this one respect the meek won’t inherit the Earth. Though, now that I think of it, these meek can breed a hell of a lot before they die of trivial to prevent diseases, so maybe in addition to Idiocracy, life spans will shrink back to 35-40 (actually, what started out as a sarcastic joke strikes too close to home, I believe life expectancy in the US has actually shrunk in the last generation).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
