I'd love to see a video on the Keytones, or carb exempt diet and see the health risks that are associated with it, I still feel it's a very blury area generally.

[davidm.johnston]

Loved this video! It encouraged me to resume working out ^^ it's been two weeks

[ElQuende]

Yeah but I think that age plays a role too. The older you are the less efficient that the process of lowering your sugar levels will be.

A lot of my friends will end up with these kind of diseases I'm afraid.. Of all my close friends, I am the one that does the most sports, which is quite easy by itself since they don't do any sports at all... However, I do sports every second day for my entire life already so I'll probably die of an enlarged heart or something like that ;)

we'll file this in the "no shit" category...

I think.. Suger parameter is wrong that is set by W. H. O.... So, most of the healthy people being patient, and this work is done by doctor.. Morning

[redcaboodle]

Err... you know where the glucose goes, do you? The part that isn't immediately used for running the body ends up as fat. You've just told us that people who exercise regularly build up fat deposits faster.

You can see that with diabetics who go on insulin. Unless they seriously reduce their intake of calories they gain weight very fast because more sugars are taken up by the cells instead of being excreted via the kidneys. (sodium/glucose cotransport)

[MauroTamm]

Or just stop flavored drinking sugar water and eating sugar heavy foods all the time. Exercise cures symptoms, not the problem itself.

[mytymj]

bit obvious isn't it? I wanted exact amount of exercise to help reduce my chances of diabetes, not proof that exercise is good for me -.-

[randhirsoft]

Suger is not a real dieses, it is hypothetical dieses which is created by W. H. O, ADA... In real, nothing bad effect apply on body when suger value reading is high...i know the such person whose reading 300-400 from last 12 years and she eat all kinds of food, including sweets... Without medicine.... And now she is alive, and she performs all kinds of daily home work...

[Mirandorl]

So binging on choccy bics is bad. Ok ta Doc, I'm off to exercise :)
