According to a new study by the Harvard School of Public Health, weight training can help prevent diabetes. Researchers followed more than 32,000 men for two decades and concluded that:
lifting weights for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, lowers a man’s chance of developing Type 2 diabetes by as much as 34 percent; and, when combined with aerobic exercise, it cuts the risk by 59 percent.
While the study did not include women, there is no reason to assume that the benefits would not apply to them as well.
