Why Your Leisurely Walk Isn’t Saving Your Life (and What Actually Might)
By: Paul Claybrook, MS, MBA Modern fitness culture has perfected a soothing narrative: anything counts. A slow walk counts. Gardening counts. Standing counts (sometimes). According to this worldview, merely existing in an upright position while occasionally shifting your weight is enough to place you firmly on the path to health, vitality, and longevity. Strap a wearable to your wrist, accumulate a few thousand steps while scrolling your phone, and voilà—you are now “active.”

Fruits that help control blood sugar in diabetes: Pears, cherries and more
Under medical advice and popular belief, fruit has often been looked at with suspicion in the case of diabetes. Its natural sweetness, sugars in sight and association with desserts have made many to think that fruit consumption is a sure way to worsen blood glucose levels. Such a view has influenced the kind of food people eat, and in some cases, even resulted in the disallowing of fruit. However, type 2 diabetes rates are still going up, and this iscalling for a relook at the foods we eat daily and their actual effects on the metabolism. Nutritional science advancements are already disproving these arguments by showing that whole fruits and refined sugars are very different. Fibre, plant compounds and food structure come from the fruit, and they all help with glucose absorption and processing. This has led to the fact that fruit is not a risk factor in the diet but rather a possible source of more stable blood sugar if chosen and consumed properly.

It was cloudy all day, but the weather wasn’t calling for rain for a few more hours. As many runners often mistakenly do, I thought I had plenty of time to get in my run. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t pay attention to the forecast and decided she needed to show up a couple of hours early.
