Regular Exercise

We’ve already said that the body is a well-engineered machine and machines are there to be put to good work.

Keeping active through exercise increases our body’s sensitivity to the hormone insulin. Increased insulin sensitivity, in other words, increasing our body’s ability to use the insulin it makes, means your cells are better able to absorb the sugar in your blood stream for energy.

Regular workouts such as walking, running, or swimming also helps us lose weight. Being overweight has been known to be a risk factor in developing diabetes and hypertension, known causes of stroke and heart disease.
