Exercise to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes
Can you actually reverse diabetes just by exercising? Well, science says yes—it’s possible, but there’s a catch. Type 2 diabetes occurs when too much fat builds up in the liver and pancreas, making it harder for the body to use insulin properly. However, when that fat is reduced through regular exercise and healthy food choices, the body can begin responding to insulin normally again.
Don’t believe me? A 2020 study found that people who changed their diet and exercised lost around 12 kg. And guess what? Six out of ten of them were able to reverse their diabetes in just one year. One year, folks.
So start simple. Walk for 30 minutes a day, lift weights, dance, or garden—whatever keeps you moving. Every step counts toward a healthier you.
