Aerobic Exercise Benefits Diabetes Patients

Aerobic exercise has proved to be beneficial for Diabetes patients. It is an activity that requires the use of large muscles and makes your heart beat faster. Doctors always suggest this to patients.  Doing aerobic exercise for 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week provides many benefits.

So see your doctor first to make sure if it is ok for you to increase your level of physical activity. Talk to them about how to warm up, stretch before you exercise and how to cool down after you exercise. Start slowly with 5 to 10 minutes a day.

Along with aerobics, the following exercises can also prove beneficial for you:

·         Walking briskly
·         Hiking
·         Climbing stairs
·         Swimming
·         Dancing
·         Playing basketball, volleyball or other sports
