Experts agree: blood sugar control assists in weight control; keeping it in check will help you lose weight. Proper eating is the main factor in ideal blood sugar control. But another sometimes overlooked method for improving your blood sugar balance is to exercise. Many fitness gurus, when speaking of exercise benefits, mainly bring up calorie burn. Burning calories is important, but the awesome side effects of better blood sugar metabolism is just as important.
The types of exercise that help the most for blood sugar, or blood glucose, control:
1) high-intensity anaerobic work and 2) strength straining. The two types are sometimes are part of the same workout. Both help control blood sugar levels by improving metabolism (i.e. use) of blood sugar and fat.
A close second for controlling blood glucose is the long, gentle types of exercise for moderate endurance training. Examples are walking, casual bike rides, taking the stairs, and swimming for fun. Neither high-intensity nor low-key exercise is superior to the other: they are both great, and can be done at different times to complement one another.
Controlling your blood glucose, and avoiding the things that make it surge, is absolutely crucial to losing and maintaining weight. As a consequence, it's also instrumental in keeping your body's overall functioning at its best and most healthy, and improving your mood and energy. Exercise will help you do this.
Remember that exercise is not only for burning calories. It's also your ally in how your system uses the calories you've consumed to your best advantage, for continued calorie burning after the workout, body fuel management, and more. Balanced blood glucose levels make the body able to use stored fats as a source of energy--which makes weight loss easier to achieve!
