Do you have high blood sugar, are at risk for type 2 diabetes, over-weight,
or low on exercise time? Do you know someone who is? Have you ever wondered if
exercising, losing weight, and living a high-level-healthiness lifestyle really
provides any benefits such as reducing your risk of developing type 2 diabetes
or dying from heart disease or stroke? Recently released research by a
collaboration between China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing and Yale
University suggest there are definite benefits. Guangwei Li, M.D. and David
Katz, M.D., M.P.H. just reported on a 29 year study. For the study, Li's group randomly
assigned 438 patients to the exercise and better-eating program, and another
138 patients to maintain their regular lifestyle. The program was designed to produce
weight loss in obese or overweight participants, to reduce carbs and alcohol
intake in people of normal weight,
and to increase physical activity participants did
during their leisure time. (High levels of blood sugar are unhelpful to brain
function and can contribute to a higher risk of developing type II diabetes.)
More on the research results tomorrow.
