Role of Exercise and Yoga in Diabetics
Hi again,
Let us discuss more.
Physical exercises are one of the important mode of treatment in diabetes.
Excercises give following benefits:
1. Contracting of muscles use up a lot of sugar. This relieves much of pancreas burden.
2. Accumulated fat is used up. As a result, weight decreases, which on itself may ameliorate most symptoms of diabetes.
3. A psychological boost is experienced.
4. Heart becomes more efficient.
By consulting his/her doctor, a diabetic can opt for any light exercise like walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, gardening, etc. A middle aged diabetic should desist from doing any kind of heavy or tiring exercises.
Before opting for a suitable exercise programme, the diabetic should go for a complete medical check up to ensure that no untoward incident occurs later on. If while doing any exercise or after the exercise, excessive fatigue, breathlessness, weakness or chest pain occurs, it is an indication that exercises have been overdone or that the amount or pace of the exercise is presently beyond the reach of the person. He/she must take care to prevent any kind of injury during exercise. Regarding food intake, the diabetic should not increase food intake after commencing exercises otherwise benefits of exercise will be neutralised. It may be noted that exercises reduce the amount of sugar in the blood.
The diabetic must be regular in exercises to get proper benefit because exercises done irregularly may do more harm than good.
Yogasans (yoga):
Yoga and Pranayama also have an important role in the treatment of diabetes. Many yoga experts and physicians have proved that yoga brings down the blood sugar level. Many diabetics who cant do various excercises like walking, jogging or swimming etc. can get the benefits of exercises through yogasans and pranayama.
