insulin and exercise
Insulin and exercise refers to the relationship between the hormone insulin and physical activity. When we exercise, our muscles require more energy, which results in increased insulin sensitivity. This means that insulin is more effective in transporting glucose from the bloodstream into the muscles to be used as fuel. Regular exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity, aiding in the control of blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health.
