As we age and our weight increases, our bodies need more regular movement to stay healthy.
But in today’s digital world, many people spend most of their day sitting — at desks, on couches, or in bed.
And the less physically active we are, the higher the risk of blood sugar issues.
Your level of physical activity has a direct impact on your risk of diabetes.
Whether it’s walking, jogging, doing yoga, household chores, or going to the gym — any light or intense movement helps your body use insulin more effectively.
How Physically Active Are You on Most Days?
🧠 Why Your Activity Level Matters
Physical activity lowers your blood sugar naturally.
When you move your body, your muscles use glucose for energy — helping reduce excess sugar in the bloodstream, just like a natural remedy.
Staying active doesn’t just help with blood sugar — it also supports weight management, blood pressure, stress levels, and sleep quality.
Even small efforts like walking 30 minutes daily, using stairs instead of elevators, or practicing morning yoga can make a significant difference.
