I am fortunate that I have been
able to control my diabetes with diet
and exercise. The way I see it, if you
make smarter food choices, improve
your lifestyle and exercise, obesity will
probably take care of itself. I want us to
be able to control our diabetes so that it
doesnt control us, she said.

Benefits of Regular Cardiovascular Exercise
Regular cardiovascular exercise can decrease your risk
of cardiac-related problems and issues related to other
chronic diseases.
Furthermore, regular cardiovascular
exercise for those with a previous
cardiac history decreases the
likelihood of a second event or
intervention. In fact, if exercise
could be packed in a pill, it would
be the most widely prescribed and
beneficial medicine in the country.
Regular exercise has similar
effects as taking medications when
it comes to reducing the risk of
cardiac-related health problems
and other chronic diseases, said
Amanda Castles, MPH, health
promotion consultant at Health
Directions, Lexington Medical
Centers fitness and wellness gym.
Your activity level is one risk factor
you can control.
It is important to choose types
of exercise that you enjoy. When you
enjoy your activity, it feels less like a
chore and youre more likely to stick
to your routine, said Castles.

Recommendations
Strive for 30 minutes or
more of moderate-intensity
physical activity on most
days of the week. Examples
of moderate exercise are
brisk walking, jogging,
cycling or other aerobic
activity. If you have joint
pain, choose low-impact
exercises such as walking,
bicycling and swimming.
Include activity in your
social plans with family and
friends. Burn 210 to 625
calories with an hour of
physical activity, depending
on the activity.
As weight loss occurs,
the body becomes more
efficient at using energy
and the rate of weight
loss may decrease.
Increasing physical activity
may be helpful.
