fit20 fights diabetes

Diabetes is more prevalent in our society than ever before. Why that happens to be the case, is a topic of discussion for another post. Until then, let's take a look at what can be done about it. Is medication the best solution? What alternatives are there? What about exercise?

Many people with diabetes who do fit20 see their symptoms greatly improve. Not only do they feel fitter than before they can often reduce or stop their medication. Of course, this is always with the approval of their doctor.

The fit20 training does something special, it ensures that the muscles burn a large amount of glycogen. Glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles. The intensive fit20 strength training empties the stores of glycogen in the muscles. Therefore, the insulin receptors on the muscle cells are forced to function better. They become receptive to insulin again.

Many people with diabetes who practise fit20 are witnessing a sharp decline of their complaints.

As soon as the insulin receptors on the muscle cells start working better again, the amount of glucose in the blood decreases. It can be released into the muscle cells because insulin is being allowed in again. The amount of insulin in the blood also decreases, resulting in less glucose being stored as fat.

The muscles will increase in strength because the improved insulin sensitivity means they can absorb nutrients again.

Recent ground-breaking research has shown that during and after intensive training the muscles display a lot of endocrine(hormonal) activity. Simply put, they release hormone-like substances: myokines. These are molecules that function as a sort of ‘intermediary’ in all important processes. In this way, the muscles ‘communicate’ back and forth with other tissues and organs in the body. Myokines have a specific endocrine effect on the brain, liver and body fat among others.

Myokines also appear to play an important role in fat metabolism. They reduce the insulin levels in the blood and increase the number of insulin receptors in the cells.

fit20 training therefore increases the insulin sensitivity of the insulin receptors and multiplies the number of receptors. The Dutch Diabetes Foundation (amongst others) advises patients with type 2 diabetes to do strength training. fit20 training is the perfect form of strength training because it activates all types of muscle tissue and the corresponding myokines and releases large amounts of glycogen from the muscles.

Furthermore, fit20 provides fast, visible results and the training is easily maintained. People who have not yet developed type 2 diabetes but who do have a disposition for it can use fit20 as the optimal preventative measure.
