What kind of exercise is good for lowering blood sugar

Too high blood sugar may cause hyperglycemia problems, which is not good for our health. Therefore, in today's life, we should of course focus on scientific and effective treatment and solutions. In addition to some basic drug treatments, for patients with hyperglycemia, some exercise in life can also be used as auxiliary treatment. The following will specifically introduce to you which exercises can lower blood sugar.

1. Aerobics

Many diabetic patients have distal vascular necrosis, so in the later stages of diabetes, many patients will experience symptoms such as finger headaches, redness, swelling, and numbness of the toes. You can do it every day: pull your body upwards, support yourself with the soles of your feet, lift your heels off the ground, and stand on tiptoe up and down. At the same time, open your arms and palms with all your strength, and make a "grabbing" movement. Every time you grab, the soles of your feet move accordingly. Do it for 5 minutes each time, and keep doing it every morning and evening.

2. Tai Chi

Practicing Tai Chi can help relieve stress, improve balance and increase flexibility. Practicing Tai Chi can also help diabetics lower their blood sugar levels. A new study found that if diabetics attend Tai Chi training classes twice a week, practicing for one hour each time, and practice at home three times a week for 20 minutes each time, they can significantly lower their blood sugar levels and improve their quality of life.

3. Intermittent exercise

Intermittent exercise refers to adding several higher-intensity exercises during normal exercise, such as combining jogging with sprinting, or combining walking with brisk walking. Studies have found that interval exercise can help lower blood sugar levels, improve cardiovascular health and increase exercise stamina. Experts suggest that you should start with high-intensity exercise for 15 to 30 seconds and then gradually increase it to 1 to 2 minutes.

Combining fast and slow methods effectively controls blood sugar

Brisk walking is beneficial for controlling blood sugar. However, for diabetics who have no exercise habits, knowing how to start exercising is a science. The American Diabetes Association has made four suggestions.

If you can lower your blood sugar by using these exercises, the effect will certainly be better. This method is also safer and healthier and will not cause other adverse injuries. So I hope that after you understand the methods and techniques introduced above, you can pay more attention to these exercises in your life.
