How does movement improve blood glucose control? 1. When your muscles contract they have the ability to use glucose without the need for increased insulin. This is called Muscle Glucose Uptake. This reduces blood glucose levels after exercise. 2. Exercise also will use stored glucose (glycogen) in your muscles during exercise which now creates room in those muscles to take up blood glucose to replenish its stores. 3. Regular exercise also increases insulin sensitivity. This means your cells are more sensitive to insulin’s signal to take up glucose, reducing the glucose in your blood. If your cells are more insulin sensitive then the amount of insulin needed to do this job is reduced.

'Exercise is secret to staying thin after Ozempic jab' - as studies show most regain most of the weight they lose. But actually, it isn't a secret, and simply won't work! Listen, it's this simple. If you don't identify the root cause of your unhealthy relationship with food, any diet or weight-loss regime is doomed to failure, because it isn't sustainable. Here they say that exercise is the secret to success, (but even then you will gain some of the weight you lose with the drug!). But if you stress your body, by exercising when you really don't want to, and aren't enjoying it, the stress means that food metabolism is affected and fat will be stored instead of lost. The choice you have is to spend a lot of money on a drug that won't work, long-term, or pay for specialist therapy to lose the weight by addressing the reasons why you binge-eat, graze, or choose unhealthy food. Spend wisely, or spend foolishly. It's your choice! www.habitreat.com https://mol.im/a/13280105 via https://dailym.ai/android

“I suck at exercise” is the first thing one of my online clients said today before his first session. This is a common conversation I get to have, and many people feel like they need to be “good at exercise” or have previous experience. But exercise is a skill that you can learn and improve on. No one taught you about taxes, how to start a business, or be a parent, and yet you learned along the way. But unlike entrepreneurship or parenting, you can literally have someone help you and guide you every step of the way. You have a question? There’s an answer. It’s ok to not know or be confused with: 🤔What to eat 🤔What plan to follow 🤔How to stay on track with your goals 🤔How to reduce risk of injury 🤔What exercises are best for your body type 🤔How to use exercise as medicine 🤔How to improve your sleep 🤔How to naturally improve your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. There is a lot of confusing information on the internet, so it’s ok to not know. And because those questions are so common I have been consistently writing blogs to help you on your health journey as well. Because if one person had it, I’m sure someone else was wondering the same question as well. So, if you have any of those questions as well, I got you 😉 Some of the blogs are cancer specific some of it is for anyone looking to be healthy. So if you want to know how to naturally lower your cholesterol then read here: https://lnkd.in/eTEEJhgr If you are getting started and have a lot of questions start here: https://lnkd.in/eSUW_eNR Looking to improve your sleep: https://lnkd.in/eqCNbTuK Don’t know how much protein to eat: https://lnkd.in/eHPVFYms That’s not all but feel free to check it out or reach out to me with a question, and I’ll be sure to post the answer 🫶🏽 Oh and for the record: my client does not suck at exercise; he just felt he did because he gets back pain when he runs, but running isn’t the only form of exercise. He works hard, has great form, good mobility, and was able to complete all workouts—pain free. So, don’t let one form of exercise make you feel like you “suck at exercise.” #exercise #exerciseismedicine #exercisetraining #onlinetraining #exerciseroutine #healtheducation

Where does fat go when we lose weight? Given the universal interest in weight loss and fat loss you would think this question has a simple answer. Of a survey completed on 150 doctors, dieticians and personal trainers the widespread answer in over 50% of the respondents was that fat is converted to heat and energy as it is broken down. Others suggested that fat was excreted in faeces or taken up by the muscle. The misconception of this subject is alarming considering those professionals at the forefront are still unsure of what really happens to fat during weight loss. We know that when we eat additional carbohydrate, protein and fat it is converted into triglycerides and stored in the adipocyte or fat cell. So if we want to lose weight but at the same time maintain our lean body mass we need to create a situation where we can metabolise fat stored in the adipocyte. As fat is being metabolised a hormone called lipase is released and is responsible for the further breakdown of fat. Lipase works by breaking down triglycerides in our adipocytes into smaller molecules, and ultimately is released as energy in the form of ATP, water and carbon dioxide. ATP is used to fuel our movements as well as our metabolism, but what happens to water and carbon dioxide? In a study published in the British Medical Journal researchers modified existing calculations to identify where fat goes in weight loss. They reported that the triglyceride (consists of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) must be broken down to gain access to the carbon, which can eventually be breathed out. The mass is converted to carbon dioxide and breathed out through our lungs. The lungs are the primary excretory organs for weight loss. Simply by breathing harder or deeper will not help you lose more weight. The fat must be broken down to carbon through physical activity or metabolism before it can be exhaled through the lungs. To lose 10kg of fat we would need to inhale 29kg of oxygen and burn approximately 94,000 kcal, while producing 28kg of carbon dioxide and 11kg of water with 84% of the fat used exhaled as carbon dioxide and 16% is excreted as fluid either in the form of sweat or urine. #healthcare #healthylifestyle #healthandwellness #healthandfitness #healthcareeducation #healthcarecosts #fitness #fitnesscoach #fitnessindustry #exerciseismedicine #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #exercisescience #exercisebenefits #wellbeing #wellnesscoach #ReferAll #MH1Global

2-minute fix for your blood pressure problems. Managing blood pressure can be tricky because it’s influenced by your diet, lifestyle, exercise habits, and genetics. The stress you professionals endure only adds another layer to this narrative. If you crave a remedy for your heart's struggles, here's a revelation that might just set you on a path of newfound confidence. Resistance training can reduce your blood pressure and improve your cardiovascular health as much as medicine, and performing one specific exercise for two minutes could offer some incredible health benefits. That was the takeaway from a massive review of 270 studies examining nearly 16,000 people (link in comments). The researchers sifted through the nuances of aerobic exercise, dynamic resistance training, the marriage of aerobics and resistance, the thunderous realm of high-intensity interval exercise, and the silent power of isometric exercise. They found that isometric exercise was most effective at reducing your systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Isometric exercises require you to contract your muscles for a prolonged period. The longer a muscle is tightly contracted, the more nitric oxide your body releases when the muscle relaxes. This oxide is a potent force that dilates the very vessels that dictate your blood's journey, lowering the pressure that shackles your heart. If you’re looking to rank-order the effectiveness of exercises on blood pressure, after isometrics, resistance training (think traditional weight lifting) was most effective, followed by aerobic exercise and high-intensity interval exercise. And for people with hypertension, the study suggests that exercise was just as effective as medication for lowering blood pressure. If you’re looking to add a little blood pressure RX to your life, it’s not complicated or time-consuming. The remedy lies in the simplicity of a two-minute ritual. Enter the world of wall squats. Four sets, each lasting two minutes in the seated embrace of a squat. A rhythmic cadence coupled with a brief respite between each set, and you find yourself standing at the precipice of improved blood pressure. Embrace it, repeat it, and let the echoes of your actions resonate through the chambers of your heart. You, my friend, hold the power to rewrite the narrative of your blood pressure tale.

Great article! Thanks Ted-Theodore Angelopoulos for reposting this. WHERE DOES FAT GO WHEN WE LOSE WEIGHT? The mass is converted to CO2 and breathed out through our lungs. Thus, the lungs are the primary excretory organs for weight loss.

New YouTube Video - How Exercise improves insulin sensitivity To watch the videos - Simply search for ‘James Tang Fitness’ Link - https://lnkd.in/ejF-ib7X Please subscribe to my channel, like, share & comment on the video. Please also hit the bell so that you will be notified of any new video release. Please follow me on Instagram - @james.tang90 TikTok @JamesTangFitness Insulin sensitivity describes how sensitive the body is to the effects of insulin. Someone who is insulin sensitive will require smaller amounts of insulin to lower blood glucose levels than someone who has low insulin sensitivity, which is also referred to as insulin resistance, so they will require larger amounts of insulin either from their own pancreas or from injections in order to keep blood glucose stable. Having insulin resistance is a sign that your body is having difficulty metabolising glucose, and this can indicate wider health problems such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels may also be present. Fortunately, insulin sensitivity can be increased and improved by changing your lifestyle. This includes exercise and eating choices. Exercise is extremely important and has a powerful effect on insulin sensitivity. Watch till the end of this video and I will explain to you in simple terms how exercise can improve your insulin sensitivity Please seek further advice from the relevant health professionals. If you’re interested in improving your health & fitness, losing weight, or if you suffer from or wish to prevent back pain, please take a look at my book - A practical guide to the self-management of lower back pain - A holistic approach to health & fitness: Available from Amazon. #diabetesworkout #diabetesexercise #glucosezone #diabetes #diabetescure #fitness #exercise #workout #workoutvideo #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #bloodsugar #glucose #bloodglucose #diabetestreatment #insulinresistance #insulinsensitivity #insulin #prediabetes

"Healthy is an outfit that looks good on EVERY BODY". With all the "quick fixes" that are currently available with GLP-1 weight loss medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy, the elephant in the room question looms silent and real. "Is this approach healthy?" There are arguments that the benefits outweigh the risks. But are those arguments valid? I am not saying there are not some individuals for whom the weight loss medication IS appropriate - there are - but I would propose that is only a small percentage. I am only pointing out that this option should be one of the last resorts after a REAL and CONCERTED change in healthy lifestyle habits has been tried and has failed. Did you know that studies show that 40% of the weight lost on these drugs is skeletal muscle? Studies also indicate that an 8% weight loss from skeletal muscles can increase the risk of heart attack by 300%! That's a BIG percentage of risk for heart attack. Also, loss of skeletal muscle occurs naturally with the aging process - even for those who perform regular resistance training - so what does this mean for individuals over the age of 50 who are on these drugs? Muscular strength and endurance are VITAL to high levels of function. When muscle tissue is lost, FUNCTION is lost. In addition, a study also indicates that as much as 65% of the people who lost weight on these drugs, regained it after discontinuing the drug. Instead of going for the "quick fix" and relying on medications that may actually be detrimental to health in the overall scheme of things, perhaps we should turn to the development of healthy lifestyle choices which includes resistance training, cardio exercise, functional movement, stretching/myofascial release, healthy brain nutrition, rest, and hydration. The Stokes Method nutrition and movement systems have helped to retard my MS progression and to maintain high levels of function as well as healthy body composition. **FUEL UP is Functional Understanding of Eating for Life: Utilize and Practice #stokesmethod #believeadaptachieve #fuelup #functionalunderstandingofeatingforlife #FUELutilize&practice
