Exercise Reduces Mortality in Diabetics


A large, well-designed German study published in the August 6 Archives of Internal Medicine found that moderate physical activity performed on a regular basis can reduce the risk of mortality by 38% in diabetics. There is no pill that can do that. In non-diabetics moderate exercise is said to reduce the risk of of overall mortality by 33% and cardiovascular mortality by 35%. Moderate exercise or activity is usually equated with at least 30 minutes of brisk walking 5 days a week. The key here is that the exercise needs to be done regularly.
