Physical Activity
Recommended exercise based on your lab results
Based on your elevated glucose and cholesterol levels, we recommend:
- Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week
- Include strength training exercises 2-3 times per week
- Consider activities like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling
- Start with 10-15 minute sessions and gradually increase duration
Regular physical activity can help lower blood glucose, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Stress Management
Techniques to reduce stress and improve overall health
Chronic stress can negatively impact your health markers. We recommend:
- Practice mindfulness meditation for 10-15 minutes daily
- Try deep breathing exercises when feeling stressed
- Ensure adequate sleep (7-9 hours per night)
- Consider yoga or tai chi for mind-body connection
Reducing stress can help lower blood pressure, improve glucose control, and enhance overall well-being.
