Diabetes exercise therapy, these four are the best

For the majority of diabetic patients, it is very important to choose a suitable exercise. Because they cannot engage in strenuous exercise, we recommend walking, jogging and other slow but beneficial exercises for health. We hope that the majority of patients will persist in doing so for a long time.

1. Walking: suitable for all types of diabetes patients. Walking can not only reduce the excessive burden on pancreatic beta cells, which is beneficial for disease control, but also prevent osteoporosis. When taking a walk, you should wear light clothes and sports shoes (wear socks), look straight ahead, keep your shoulders steady, keep your back straight, tighten your abdomen, swing your arms widely, take as big steps as possible, and walk for more than 30-45 minutes.

2. Jogging: It can promote metabolism, consume a lot of blood sugar, reduce fat accumulation, prevent complications such as dyslipidemia, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, etc. It is beneficial to diabetic patients, but a doctor's consent is required. Note that it is not advisable to jog immediately after a meal, nor to eat immediately after jogging. The best time is 9-10 am and 4-5 pm every day. Be persistent and proceed step by step.

3. Kicking the keys: It can regulate blood flow throughout the body, accelerate the metabolism of blood lipids and blood sugar, and thus lower blood sugar. Note that you should do about 15 minutes of warm-up exercises before playing tennis. You can start with 5 to 10 minutes each time, and then increase to 20 to 30 minutes after one or two months. Among them, kicking shuttlecock for 20 to 30 minutes has the best blood sugar lowering effect.

4. Walking in water: Put on your swimsuit and walk in a pool of warm water. Note that when you first start walking in water, it is best to walk for 30 minutes, with the water level reaching above your abdomen. Then gradually increase the water level to reach your chest. Take long steps, lift your knees high, and swing your hands in the water to help counteract the resistance of the water. After getting used to it, the time can be extended to 60 minutes.
