Winter is the best season for people who want to lose weight because our heart rate slows down in winter, so we expend more energy during workouts, thus burning more calories.
Our body needs exercise in every season to stay healthy, but in winter we become sluggish and avoid going outside. Food intake increases in winter anyway, so we become fat by not moving and just eating
Former Mr. Pakistan Fida Hussain Baloch, while talking about winter exercises, says that winter is the best season for people who want to lose weight because our heart rate slows down in winter, so we expend more energy in workouts, thus we burn more calories.
In addition, sweat also comes later in winter, so we can exercise more, compared to summer when we sweat even after a little exercise. Fida Hussain said that it is very important to warm up or warm up the body before regular workouts, otherwise strenuous exercise can cause damage. He said that people starting a new workout should warm up by walking and avoid doing heavy exercises.
Walk. Reduce the chances of diabetes.
Walking more steps per day reduces the risk of diabetes
A new study has found that the more steps people take daily, the lower their risk of developing diabetes. According to Dr. Andrew Perry of a research institute based in Nashville, Tennessee, US, scientists investigated the relationship between physical activity and type 2 diabetes. In this study, researchers had participants wear electronic devices and used the data collected from them.
He said that the study found that people who spend more time in some kind of physical activity are less likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes. The data revealed in the study highlights the importance of daily physical activity in reducing the risk of diabetes.
The study involved 5,600 people, 75 percent of whom were women, who were enrolled in the National Institutes of Health’s All of This Research Program between 2010 and 2021. The research program aims to improve individual health by enrolling more than 1 million people and collecting their data for many years. Over four years, researchers found 97 new cases of diabetes. The study found that people who walked an average of 10,700 steps (a little more than 5 miles) per day were 44 percent less likely to develop diabetes than those who walked 6,000 steps. The study was recently published in the Journal of Clinical and Epidemiology and Metabolism.
History of diabetes.
Diabetes and humans have been together for thousands of years.
Diabetes and humans have been together for thousands of years. History says that diabetes existed as early as 1500 BC. This was revealed by an ancient papyrus found in a pyramid in Egypt, which was discovered by a German expert, Georg Ebers, in 1862. The name “diabetes” was given to diabetes by Apollonius, a Greek physician, in the third century BC.
In Greek, “siphon” is called diabetes. This name was given because in this disease, there is a lot of urine and this process removes water from the body like a siphon. Muslim scientists also paid attention to this aspect. They worked on this disease in the 9th and 11th centuries AD. Abu Ali Sina discussed diabetes in detail. Scientists in different parts of the world continued to try to find the cause of this disease and its treatment. A German scientist, Paul Langerhans, discovered collections of special types of cells in the pancreas in 1867. These collections came to be called the Islets of Langerhans. Two scientists from Germany conducted an important experiment in 1889. They removed the pancreases of a few dogs. The helpless dogs developed diabetes after being deprived of their pancreas and died soon after. Now scientists are worried about what is there in the pancreas, the lack of which leads to diabetes. The answer to this question was found by a Canadian surgeon, Frederick G. Banting, with the help of one of his students, Charles H. Best. This was a century ago, in 1920. The teacher and the student together extracted a chemical substance from the pancreases of dogs. This chemical substance was used in dogs that were diabetic. The patients benefited greatly and they lived as long as they were given that chemical substance (i.e. insulin). It is worth mentioning here that a few years ago, a British scientist, Sir Edward Albert Sharpey Schafer, was working on the importance of this chemical substance in relation to diabetes, which is produced by the pancreas. He named this substance insulin. He derived this name from the Latin word “insula.” “Insula” means “island.” He liked this name because this chemical substance is produced by cells in the pancreas called the islets of Langerhans. We were talking about the successful use of insulin in 1921.
The very next year, in 1922, the substance obtained from the pancreas (i.e. insulin) was used in a human for the first time. A 14-year-old boy named Leonard Thompson was being treated in a Canadian hospital. His blood sugar level had become very high. When he was given insulin by injection, the result was very good. Leonard’s blood sugar level returned to normal within 24 hours. This experiment caused a stir. Frederick Banting was awarded the Nobel Prize for obtaining insulin from the pancreas and its successful use.
Banting also shared the prize with his student Charles Best. After this, efforts began to produce insulin on a large scale. It is clear that many people needed a life-saving medicine. Initially, insulin was obtained from the pancreases of cows and pigs, and later insulin exactly like human insulin was prepared. To produce it on a large scale, changes were made in the DNA of microorganisms, after which these microorganisms started producing insulin like human insulin. This success was achieved in 1978. This is a great blessing of the Almighty, who gave man so much understanding and ability to discover insulin and then start producing it on a large scale. After the discovery of insulin, great progress has been made in the treatment of diabetes and millions of people are living healthy lives despite suffering from diabetes.
