Fight Diabetes With Speed
Filed in archive Research on June 30, 2006
Not the drug, of course. With your own legs. Some scientists now believe that even mildly increasing the speed of your daily walks (which we all should be doing if possible!) can make a difference in fighting diabetes.
Among eight adults with type 2 diabetes already walking a little more than the recommended 10,000 steps per day, a "Pick Up the Pace" program increased walking speeds, and therefore intensity of walking, to a level that elicited significant improvements in heart and respiratory fitness over 12 weeks.
Of course, this study was too small to draw any conclusions, but it doesn't seem likely to hurt.
