This fact rolled out from a new study, conducted by Australian researchers. As per the findings of this study, light exercise that hardly runs you in sweat is quite sufficient to lower the risk of developing diabetes and several other cardiovascular diseases that comes flocking with blood glucose. This is good news; especially for housewives and people who wish to protect themselves from diabetes but cock their noses at the very thought of spending hours in gymnasium. This study is quite reliable as it comes after monitoring the glucose levels and routine daily activities of 173 people over a week. However, we can’t keep a blind eye to the importance of strenuous exercise, as it is also important for physical wellbeing.
