High-Intensity Exercise May Benefit Diabetics: 4 Natural Juices That'll Help Manage the Condition Better

Reams have been written about the benefits of regular exercising in staving off risks of lifestyle diseases. Physical activity has also shown results in managing a range of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and even cancer. A recent study establishes a link between high intensity exercising and reduced blood glucose metabolism in the brain areas of people suffering from Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

Previous studies have shown that the brains glucose and fatty acid uptake is increased in type 2 diabetes, and that glucose uptake decreases after weight loss. During HIIT training, eg ketones and lactates are being formed which the brain can use as a source of energy. Glucose being supplemented with ketones, could be one of the explanations for the decreased glucose uptake caused by exercise, researchers said.
