Did you know that Diabetes is a disease of the metabolism?
Our metabolism is the way our bodies process and distribute food for energy. Glucose is our bodies’ main source of fuel and comes from the food we eat. Diabetes occurs when blood glucose levels are above normal, which can affect your body in various ways, causing issues with your eyes, heart, kidneys, nerves, and feet. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle with strength training and cardio workouts, you can help prevent or reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes. In many cases, just losing 5-10 percent of your weight is all it takes to restore insulin sensitivity.
