Exercise is an important component of any healthy lifestyle and helps prevent diabetes and obesity, among many other health benefits. The overall impact of exercise as a routine part of life is overwhelmingly positive for most people. With as little as 30 minutes a day, one can improve his or her health and help reduce the risk of diabetes or future complications of the disease.
