Obesity : physical activity and movement reduces the risk of diabetes

Increasing physical activity and movement every day helping to prevent obesity and diabetes in the long term. These results of a long search conducted by Australian researchers from the Institute for Childhood Research. Results published in the British Medical Journal.

The study included the participation of about 592 of the men and women of average age 50 and collect their data and who participated in the studies on diabetes from 2000 to 2005. At the beginning of the study, the researchers interviewed the participants in detail about their eating habits and lifestyle in addition to that carried them to a medical examination. Participants also received the device (meter), which measures the steps on the move with teaching them how to use them.

Five years after diagnosis of the participants, the researchers again. People who increased their steps per day (physical activity) compared with the number of steps in the first study, I have a body mass index (BMI), also the proportion of waist circumference, hip and increased sensitivity to insulin Andham, ie, the probability diagnosed diabetes has become less. These changes were independent of energy and food that have been addressed. After reviewing the results of the study researchers suggest that the main reason for these changes is to reduce weight due to more physical activity and lifestyle change.

The results confirm that increased physical activity and daily movement have a positive effect on obesity, which is often linked to the very dangers of diabetes, since obesity is one of the main factors leading to diabetes, researchers say. The researchers recommend that older people especially not to the neglect of physical activity and to accustom the body to move.

Have shown many of the studies already that sport and physical activity has many positive effects on body mass index and insulin activity.
The present study is the first to study the impact of increased traffic and activity to prevent diabetes.
