Exercise Can Increase Insulin Production


New research shows that short training workouts, called functional high-intensity training, may improve beta-cell function and insulin production in adults with type 2 diabetes.  Beta cells in the pancreas produce, store and secrete insulin, which allows your body to use sugar for energy. These studies are the first to analyze beta-cell function in training, and they showed that the exercise programs increase cell function, liver function, and exercise capacity, all of which can help improve blood sugar levels and insulin production. 
Exercise has positive effects on the body, and now it is even more the case since it can help people with diabetes. This study shows some of the new developments researchers and scientists are making to help the body function properly. I wonder if this high intensity training can help with other diseases? If so, I think this discovery could be very beneficial to many people.

  2. This is very interesting and seems like it could be helpful to a variety of people. Hopefully these studies will be shared by more researchers so that more people affected become aware. Now that they have this research it will probably lead to more discoveries related to conditions like diabetes which would be beneficial to a lot of people.

  3. The fact that one's body can produce it's own insulin from a specific type of physical work outs is fascinating! It is true that fitness is very important for health, listen to the doctor! It keeps me wondering if a specific work out can cure other diseases.
