| Bottom Line/HEALTH: | What’s the best kind of exercise to manage diabetes? | |
| Osama Hamdy, MD, PhD | I mentioned before, when people do strength exercise, their fat inside their belly goes down. This is a dangerous type of fat called visceral fat or intra-abdominal fat. It is a very small amount of fat—two to six pounds of fat. But it will respond very well to exercise, so do strength exercise so that fat goes down. That improves their health a great amount. | |
| Bottom Line: | And as we talked about with regard to the strength-training, muscle retention is very critical. | |
| Hamdy: | Exercise, exercise, exercise. | |
