Walking speed affects blood sugar control

HẠ MÂY (Theo everydayhealth) |

Regular physical activity such as walking is an important part of controlling blood sugar.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to maintain overall health.

According to the CDC, we can walk briskly, at a speed of 3 miles/hour (about 4.8 km/h) or 87 steps per minute for men and 100 steps per minute for women, which will significantly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

When we are active, the body's cells become more sensitive to insulin, so insulin works more effectively to control blood sugar.

Going at a faster pace - the more you can improve your fitness, control your weight, and reduce insulin resistance.

We should also increase total walking time combined with faster speed to increase health benefits. At the same time, using a step counter can help track speed accurately.

Increasing your regular walking intensity is an activity that people can easily incorporate into their daily lives. Monitoring your walking speed and setting related goals can also be helpful for your health.
