Diabetes is caused by the inability of our cells to absorb glucose (i.e. sugar) from our bloodstream. These high levels of glucose within our bloodstream can lead to the symptoms and outcomes we associate with diabetes, such as nerve damage and sensory issues.
By performing regular bouts of activity such as walking, squats, or jumping jacks every 30 minutes throughout the day, blood glucose levels can be reduced significantly, allowing you to reduce your risk of diabetes and reduce your drug dependence.
