Regular exercise prevents and treats cardiometabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, through pleiotropic effects on cardiorespiratory fitness and metabolic homeostasis.
Incorporate regular, structured physical activity into your routine to protect your heart and metabolic health. Focus on improving your cardiorespiratory fitness through a mix of aerobic and resistance exercises, as this combination is often more beneficial than either alone, especially for managing type 2 diabetes.
Regular exercise — a broad term reflecting structured, purposeful physical activity (8) — has proven effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiometabolic diseases.
Why this rating
