What is the magic combination that has people ditching diabetes for a healthier lifestyle without needing medications? <\/p>\n
Jump into cardio-kick workouts and stock up on olive oil, says research out of Canada recently, if you\u2019re looking to eliminate type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
Researchers have known that replacing unhealthy food choices with those typical of a Mediterranean diet will go a long way in improving blood glucose levels. Such diets are abundant in fresh vegees, whole grain foods, fish (as opposed to red meat) and olive oil for cooking.<\/p>\n
They also have known that getting more active will improve the numbers, too. But what about combining High Intensity Interval Training (or HIIT) with the Mediterranean diet?<\/p>\n
Would the results be even better? <\/p>\n
The answer is a resounding \u201cyes,\u201d according to the research. While making the changes alone account separately for an 8-10% improvement in blood glucose, researchers found that pairing the two approaches together reflected improvements of more than 23% in just 6 weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\n
A HIIT exercise routing is characterized by intervals of high intensity cardiovascular training, such as cardio-kick, alternated with less intense intervals like walking in place.<\/p>\n
