Scientists: hops reduce bad cholesterol and sugar
According to the doctor, just 15 steps may be enough to improve blood sugar control and cholesterol levels.
Margo explained that the key is to start somewhere, even if it's something simple, for example getting up to stretch at regular intervals. A recent study showed that getting up and moving every 30 minutes—even if it's only 15 steps—activates metabolic changes that improve blood sugar control and cholesterol levels.
“The 15 steps activate metabolic changes in muscles and other tissues, including the liver, blood vessels, adipose tissue, and pancreas. A little activity reduces inflammation in these tissues, which promotes healthy metabolic function. It also lowers elevated insulin levels, which helps control blood sugar and cholesterol levels,” says physician Irina Andreeva especially for MedicForum.
