Exercise Cuts DIABETES Risk in people with BIG WAISTS

Exercise can help people with large waistlines reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Scientists found that people with large waistlines who exercise were less likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes than their less active counterparts. They found that physically inactive people with large waistlines had a 5.5 times greater risk of suffering from diabetes than active people with small waists. They added that 30 minutes of exercise five times a week could help people with large waists lower their odds of suffering the illness by 4.2 times. This can be achieved through a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
