New Disease-Slashing BONUS to Getting Your Cardio?! (A Must Read!)

It’s no secret that getting regular exercise and staying active is one of the single best ways to keep your body – both inside and out – healthy.
Getting exercise (of any kind) is great for your heart, your joints, and even your brain!
And just when the benefits of staying active couldn’t get any better, there’s new research that proves exercise has an additional disease-slashing BONUS…
Rest assured, you’ll want all the details on how exercise can protect you from this life-altering condition.
According to findings from a lengthy international study spearheaded by the King Abdulaziz Cardiac Center in Saudi Arabia, the rate of incident type 2 diabetes fell by 10% for each single unit increase in baseline level of metabolic equivalents of task (aka METs) – which is a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness.
In other words, getting in your ‘cardio’ can significantly reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes – and the serious complications that accompany this disease.
Now, it’s no hidden secret that getting exercise can only help you prevent type 2 diabetes. But, this is one of the first studies linking incremental increases in cardiorespiratory fitness to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
The nearly 17-year-long study looked at middle-aged men and women with health risks linked to type 2 diabetes. Using a series of treadmill stress tests, they found that over time, as their cardiorespiratory capacity increased (the ability to do more strenuous exercise), their markers and risks associated with type 2 diabetes decreased by as much as 10%.

This all means that increasing your ability to do longer – and harder – ‘cardio’ helps prevent type 2 diabetes.
If you’re already getting your regular doses of cardio – whether on a treadmill, an elliptical, or even a bike – keep it going… and maybe try to slowly increase how long you can workout.
And if you’re looking to jumpstart your fitness, it’s easier – and not as strenuous – than you think.
Low-impact cardio movements like walking are a great way to get started without feeling worn down or worn out.
Just be sure to talk to your doctor first before starting any exercise routine… especially if you already have type 2 diabetes.
