Exercise. It's important. I know it is.
When I exercise regularly, my fasting numbers are lower and my post-meal numbers don't appear to go as high and come down faster.
Exercise is good for, well, everything.
I saw a headline on a podcast the other day (I haven't listened to it, yet) about how exercise may help prevent Alzheimer's disease. My dad has Alzheimer's disease.
I walk to and from work essentially every weekday. That forms a basis of about 25 minutes a day of moderate walking.
But more than that? Well, crud.

I recently left my job working at an Alzheimer's and dementia assisted living. I started just after highschool and worked there for 5 years.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your dad, and I can't imagine what its like to go through that as a family member.
I know that's not what the post was about, but that part stuck out for me. :)
I'd say 25 minutes of moderate walking a day is a great exercise routine!! It's certainly more than I do most days. I am terrible about exercise. So be sure to give yourself the credit you deserve!! :)
