How can exercise help the heart?
Exercise plays a role in delaying or preventing the onset of large blood vessel and heart disease, the leading killer of people with Diabetes. Aerobic exercise helps to strengthen the heart and burn fat. A build-up of fat around the heart and within major arteries often results in large blood vessel and/or heart disease, both of which can lead to a heart attack. By exercising regularly, 3-4 times a week, the development of these diseases can be slowed or even prevented.
