Cognitition, Diabetes, and Exercise

Cognitive impairement is more common in elderly women with diabetes than in women without it. A new study (1) examined exercise to see if it had any effect on attenuating cognitive impairement. It didn’t. Why am I reporting this? Because it is only one variable and one shouldn’t put all of their eggs in one basket. If the researchers had studied diet plus exercise, I would bet that it would have had a positive effect. This is why I emphasize both diet and exercise for my clients.

    Most people get Diabetes because of the lack of exercise and overeating. We should be more aware of our lazy lifestyles and start exercising regulary to avoid Type II Diabetes.

    Diabetes can be prevented by just having a physically active lifestyle. Just exercise everyday and avoid eating too much. Avoid sweets and high carb foods too.
