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.
