Be in control
AFFECTING nearly 1.2 million people in Malaysia, according to Diabetes Malaysia, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure among adults. It also significantly increases the risk of heart disease.
You can prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes or control the disease by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, not smoking and limiting alcohol intake.
A study published in the Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise journal found that one session of moderate exercise can improve the way your body regulates glucose and boost your sensitivity to insulin, which helps keep your blood sugar within the normal range.
A physically active lifestyle can help control your blood glucose, weight and blood pressure, raise good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol.
Exercise also helps prevent heart and blood flow problems, reducing your risk of heart disease and nerve damage, which are problems often faced by people with diabetes.
One of the preferred pieces of home exercise equipment is the elliptical trainer, also known as crosstrainer.
The most important aspect of using an elliptical trainer is the reduction of knee impact during exercise. It provides similar workout as jogging but without the strain on your joints.
The Nautilus E626 Elliptical provides a total body workout but with less impact on your knees to keep you moving longer.

Additional features of the Nautilus E626 Elliptical include:
