[00:00:00]99% diabetic [music] do not know this that you can sit on your chair and yet control your blood sugar. This is part five [music] of my series decode diabetes and here I teach exact same strategies I use with my [music] clients to control their blood sugars and prevent dangerous complications. Most diabetics think that in [music] order to control their blood sugars they need to cut down on carbs and exercise for hours in gym and only then the sugars can fall under weight. [music] But there's something new. There is a proven and science-backed way to reduce your blood sugars without [music] actually any equipment or exhaustion. A new study conducted in 2020 [music] by Hamilton introduced a new concept called as soleus push-ups. A very low effort [music] movement-driven activity which can be conducted wherever you are >> [music] >> in a sitting position. This particular activity which is called as soleus push-ups is [music] known to activate our muscle called as soleus. Now the soleus muscle is built in a way that it utilizes our sugar [music] from the bloodstream as a fuel without really including any kind of intense workout or any kind of intense effort [music] that spikes your heart rate. You basically have to be seated and do these soleus push-ups. It keeps using blood sugar even when your body is sitting and at rest. [music] So can it replace your exercise routine or the traditional weight training? No. Soleus push-up is actually for [music] diabetics who are sedentary or who sit in one position for long hours. So it's [music] it's something that requires no exhaustion, no setup, no specifications. You can just do this wherever you are, however you [music] are and you just have to be seated basically. It's simply a daily movement and you can [music] be including it wherever you think it works for you. And because this soleus muscle does not get fatigued easily, you can do as many sets throughout the day [music] as possible and it will help you burn your sugar levels. So basically you should target doing this maybe after your lunch. [music] Or you could include this when you're sitting in one position for long hours. So, for every 1 hour, you look at doing almost [music] like a 10 minutes or 5 minutes of soldier's push-ups in the position that makes you feel comfortable. Now, this is one of the [music] very easy habits that you can include in your life as a diabetic and it can have a very positive impact on your blood glucose [music] control.

[00:02:16]This is what I recommend to my diabetic clients and you may want to give it a shot. I hope this helps you. See you in part six.
