1. Improve blood glucose management - Activity makes your body more sensitive to the insulin you make. Activity also burns glucose (calories). Both actions lower blood glucose!
2. Lower blood pressure - Activity helps your heart pump stronger and slower!
3. Improve blood fats - Exercise can raise good cholesterol (HDL) and lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides. These changes are heart healthy!
4. Take less insulin or diabetes pills - Activity can lower blood glucose and weight. Both of these may lower how much insulin or diabetes pills you need to take!
5. Lose weight and keep it off - Activity burns calories. If you burn enough calories, you'll trim a few pounds. Stay active and you will keep the weight off!
6. Lower risk for other health problems - Reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke, some cancers, and bone loss!
7. Gain more energy and sleep better - You'll get better sleep in less time and have more energy, too!
8. Relieve Stress - Work out or walk off daily stress!
9. Build stronger bones and muscles - Weight-bearing activities, such as walking, make bones stronger. Strength-training activities, such as lifting light weights (or even cans of beans), make muscles strong!
10. Be more flexible - Move easier when you are active!
