How can exercise lower blood sugar?

Blood sugar is a very important physiological indicator of the human body. Generally speaking, if blood sugar cannot be well controlled, it is very likely to cause symptoms of diabetes. The occurrence of diabetes is directly related to the inability to control blood sugar. People eat a lot of food every day, and these foods contain a lot of sugar. How to reduce blood sugar in the body is very important.

1. Jogging

Jogging is known as a mild cardiovascular exercise, which can stimulate the heart and blood vessels of the human body. Sweating while running is very beneficial to your health. It is not the same as taking a sauna or sweating due to high ambient temperature. Sweating is valuable. Sweating when the heart beats faster while running is meaningful. Because diabetic patients have an acidic constitution, sweating can make the internal environment alkaline, thereby reducing the incidence of inflammation and playing a good role in wound healing and skin repair.

2. Take a walk

Walking is a relatively leisurely sport. As the saying goes, “Ten exercises are worse than one walk,” the emphasis is on letting nature take its course in exercise. This type of exercise is most beneficial for diabetic patients because walking will not cause blood pressure to rise due to excessive fatigue. In addition, when encountering rapid heartbeat or other discomfort, they can also get timely help. Massaging the abdomen while walking is suitable for patients who want to prevent and treat indigestion and chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, walking is not only good for diabetes, but also has certain benefits for other diseases.

3. 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, making a "grabbing" motion. Every time you grab, the soles of your feet move accordingly. Do this every morning and evening.

4. 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 diabetics can significantly lower their blood sugar levels by attending Tai Chi training classes twice a week for one hour each time and practicing at home three times a week for 20 minutes each time.

Exercise requires a lot of body energy. This will help lower your body's blood sugar levels quickly. It is very helpful for controlling blood sugar. If the patient can control his diet at the same time, his blood sugar level will not rise. It is very meaningful for the treatment of diabetes and the prevention of the occurrence of diabetes.
