Regular Exercises Help Prevent Osteoporosis

Today we are going to learn more about exercises – bone – diabetes. Regular exercises benefit our body, mind and soul.

As we age, the bone density and blood sugar are moving towards the opposite directions. The former gets easier to lose, adding risks of getting osteoporosis, while the latter tends to increase, exposing risks of becoming diabetics.

Fractures of the hip, arm, foot, and spine are all common in people with diabetes.

A 2012 study that compared diabetics on insulin treatment and healthy people showed, the bone density of diabetics was significantly lower than the healthy people.

Bone density measurement is used in clinical medicine as an indirect indicator of osteoporosis and fracture risk.

And regular exercises may help to reduce muscle loss by maintaining muscle mass. For example, activities like weightlifting can stimulate muscle building.
