What is Diabetes Mellitus?

What is Diabetes Mellitus?

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that affects both men and women and is sometime referred to as diabetes. Persons diagnosed with this disease are said to have high blood sugar and are not producing enough insulin to help control this high level of blood sugar.

This disease is said to have been more dominant in women than men. However, many men especially from African descent are more prone to this disease rather than men of other race. For some times now, children have been also diagnosed with diabetes and so doctors have taken a different approach in testing for signs of this disease.

There are several factors that lead to a woman having diabetes mellitus such as nutrition during puberty, childbearing and aging especially during the stages of menopause. For men, diabetes is caused mainly because of bad diet.

Diabetes Mellitus can cause other illnesses to occur.

Individuals who are diagnosed with diabetes can develop problems during their sexual health. Women can develop dryness in their vagina and men can develop erectile dysfunction. These two problems are caused by poor blood circulation.

Patients with diabetes mellitus are also at risk of developing urinary tract infections which include per renal abscesses and bladder infections.

Diabetes mellitus is a serious disease that should be well taken care of and so patients will have to put a serious health management program in place.

The first thing to consider when putting a program in place for diabetes is what you should and should not eat. So it is very important that the patient visits a nutritionist or dietician.

You should also consider finding a doctor that can give you all the information you need about the disease.

Patients with diabetes will be taught to read their blood sugar level and record each result of their blood sugar reading. This will allow them manage their glucose level. When you can control your glucose then you will be able to prevent any further complications.

Diabetes Mellitus is now a great concern to individuals all over the globe. More seminars and measures will have to be put in place so that individuals pay more attention to their health especially in the area of nutrition.

Body Weight Exercises | Include Them in Your Fitness Program

Body weight exercises are ideal for individuals who do not have the time to go to the gym or join a fitness club. These type of exercises are effective enough to keep you fit and in good shape for the day and even the entire week.

There are a number of things to be accomplished in life and so people are so busy trying to see their accomplishments come to pass as time goes by. It seems as if the word “exercise” is far from peoples mind. But even if you have a busy schedule, simple body exercises can be placed on your time table. All you need to do is to create the time for it (about 15 to 20 minutes per day will do). Some discipline will also be required.

What are some of the body weight exercises that you can do by yourself?

Here is a list of the most popular ones.

1    - Push-ups

2    - Squats

3    - Crunches

All three exercises are most effective after you are finish walking or jogging in the morning or evening.

Push-up is a body weight exercise that develops strength in the entire body. Push-ups are mostly practiced by athletes and men but it is a great exercise for all individuals. There are different levels of push-up exercises such as easy, medium and hard. It is up to you as to which level of push-up exercises you’d prefer to take on. However, I would recommend that you start from the easiest one which is the modified push-up. In the modified push-up you put less weight on your arms. This is because your knees will be on the ground to support your arm.

Squatting is also a unique exercise that all individuals can do. Squats help to develop strength in your legs and lower body which includes your loins. Here is a simple description of squat.

Stand with your feet apart, they should be almost inline with your shoulder. Stretch your hands forward at shoulder height and bend your knees with your back straight. While you bend you should inhale deeply. Bend until you are in a sitting position. Move arms backward, side ways and forward then go back to standing position. Repeat the process several times.

Crunches are also ideal for strengthening sections of your body especially the abdominal muscles. This exercise is effective when done after a long walk or after jogging. The most popular crunch or abdominal exercise is performed on the back with shoulders off the ground while the knees are pointing upwards and your feet are flat on the ground. Move your head forward towards your knees and backwards towards the ground but do not touch the floor or ground with your head or shoulders.

All three body weight exercises are ideal in strengthening certain muscles in your body and they are all inexpensive methods of exercising. Spend some time practicing at least two of these exercises per day and I am sure that your body will feel and look much better as time progresses.
