[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 516241, member: 55568"] The benefits of exercise do not have to be measured by improvements in times, reductions on the scales or waistband or reduced blood pressure although it does help all of these. Often not mentioned is that daily exercise significantly alters your blood chemistry by releasing hormones and digestive enzymes which stay in the blood for about 24 hours: [I]"The role of physical activity must be considered. Increased levels of daily activity bring about decreases in liver fat stores and a single bout of exercise substantially decreases both de novo lipogenesis and plasma VLDL."[/I] These are things you do not see and cannot easily measure but, were you to take a sample of blood and put it in a centrifuge, you would see something like a 40% reduction of the milky like substance at the top of the tube[I].[/I] In addition it improves your sensitivity to the insulin that you produce. Since, as diabetics, our insulin function is impaired, it is a very good way of making sure you get the best out of what insulin you do produce. As a consequence, the improved take up of glucose from the blood due to the improved sensitivity helps reduce overall BG levels. [/QUOTE]
