The National Diabetes Education Program calls for adults over the age of 60 who are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes or who are already prediabetic to increase their physical activity to prevent diabetes.

If you are not an active person, you can start with 10 minutes of exercise 5 days a week and gradually increase it to 30 minutes. Walking around, even just for a few minutes a day, is a good start to exercise to prevent diabetes. What exercises can you do?

1. Warm-up exercise: This is the preparation for formal exercise, such as shrugging, patting toes, swinging arms, standing still, etc. 2. Dancing: Dancing can increase strength, vitality and movement. You can participate in dance classes with friends, or you can dance to the music of the radio at home without a coach. 3. Walking: This is a better way to start exercising. Of course, you need to have shoes suitable for walking, and enjoy your walking exercise in suitable places such as shopping malls or community centers. 4. Stretching: You don't need to stretch at a special time and place. At home or work, just get up and stretch your legs, feet and arms without causing muscle strain. How to start exercising and fully enjoy the fun of exercise? 1. Throw away the remote control, get up and switch TV channels. Get up and move during commercials. 2. You can make phone calls while walking inside the house. 3. Park your car far away from shopping malls, movie theaters or offices. 4. You can get off the bus early when you take the bus. 5. Go to museums, zoos or aquariums where you can exercise with your family.
