If there is a miracle drug that can lower blood sugar, improve sleep, and improve immunity, it must be exercise. But in fact, there are too many excuses that prevent us from exercising.
There are so many reasons not to exercise
Busy work, little time, many social activities, fear of sweating, lack of space, etc., all become reasons for us to be lazy. At the same time, the development of technology has also made us lazier and lazier. We used to play basketball, now we play basketball games; we used to climb stairs, now we take elevators; we used to walk, now we drive...
Find a way to get yourself moving
1. To get moving, you must first overcome inertia mentally and make exercise a source of happiness instead of treating it as "drudgery".
2. Walking is one of the best exercises. As the saying goes: If you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you will live to be ninety-nine. After dinner, accompany your family and take a stroll to a beautiful park or riverside to burn off calories and be happy both physically and mentally.
3. Shopping is also a good choice for those who like liveliness or shopping.
4. Sometimes, it is lonely to exercise alone. Invite a few friends to form a team to practice Tai Chi and dance. This is a good way to make exercise a habit.
5. Don’t exercise too much. Exercise should be gradual and don’t rush for quick results. Excessive exercise will make people feel tired and bored.
6. Start with simple and easy activities, such as climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator, stretching before going to bed, or even doing housework to exercise.
7. Patients should check their blood sugar before and after exercise. You will be pleasantly surprised to find that your blood sugar level decreases after exercise. Seeing this result will also encourage you to continue exercising. If you use insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs, ask your doctor to adjust the drug dose appropriately based on blood sugar levels.
People with diabetes must make themselves move. Diet alone is not enough. Exercise is of great significance to lowering blood sugar. In addition, don’t forget to bring a few candies with you when exercising to prevent hypoglycemia.
