Think humans are meant to slow down as we age? Well, think again.

A team of evolutionary biologists and biomedical researchers have laid out evolutionary and biomedical evidence showing that humans evolved to be relatively active in their later years.

The researchers say that physical activity later in life shifts energy away from processes that can compromise health and toward mechanisms in the body that extend it. This guards against chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers.

"It's a widespread idea in Western societies that as we get older, it's normal to slow down, do less, and retire," said Harvard evolutionary biologist, Daniel Lieberman, the paper's lead author. "Our message is the reverse: As we get older, it becomes even more important to stay physically active."

Today is World Diabetes Day.
Controlling your blood sugar with a well-balanced diet and physical activity is key in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Physical activity helps to improve glucose tolerance, increase insulin sensitivity, decrease HbA1C, reduce insulin requirements, improve the risk factors of cardiovascular disease and improve well-being. Talk to your Biokineticist about the special considerations when it comes to exercising with diabetes and get an individualized program suitable for your needs.
