Health Corner:For Women

Research has shown that women who engage in muscle-strengthening exercises such as weight lifting and yoga are at a lower risk of becoming diabetic.
This findings come from a study which followed 100,000 women for 8 years. The study was carried out by scientists from Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Southern Denmark.
The research showed that the chance of developing type 2 diabetes was cut by between 30 and 40 per cent with just three and a half hours of exercise a week. Meanwhile, just an hour's workout every seven days can cut the risk by 13 per cent and muscle-strengthening exercises such as weight lifting and yoga also fend off the condition.
Women who engaged in at least 150 minutes a week of aerobic activity and at least an hour a week of muscle-strengthening activities had the most substantial risk reduction compared with inactive women. They cut their odds of developing type 2 diabetes by a third.
According to Dr Richard Elliott, research communications officer at Diabetes UK, "despite limitations to which this research can be applied to women in general, it underlines the message that leading an active healthy lifestyle can help to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes."
