Diabetes and sport

It’s finished a few days ago a bike tour of people with diabetes with the project “BiciCuoreDiabete” went from Milan in Italy to Walkerburg in Belgium along 1309 km. The goal has been to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity to prevent and treat diabetes. In fact, the most common form of diabetes is linked to a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet, which causes this disease in over40 especially if overweight or obese. A correct diet and regular physical activity would lead to a reduction of up to 40% of cases of diabetes. The movement is still very useful also in persons already ill, because it increases the ability of cells to absorb glucose. The bike seems to be the sport of excellence not only it is and aerobic activity but also because it is a sport not traumatic, not as the running that is not indicated in adults, sedentaries and overweight.
