Diabetes &
obesity can break your bones
A team of researchers has identified that bone in a ‘big
boned’ diabetic is weaker. Obesity and type 2
diabetes have been linked to several health issues, including
an increased risk of bone
fractures. In the new rat study, University of Missouri researchers
examined how the development of obesity and insulin resistance contribute to
bone-fracture risk and whether exercise prevents weight gain and diabetes and
protects bone health.
They found obesity and type 2 diabetes negatively affected
bone, but exercise prevented weight gain and diabetes and increased bone
strength. These findings could inform interventions to improve bone health
among individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Researchers once thought
obesity was protective of bone because with more body mass, individuals have
more bone mass; more bone mass typically decreases the risk of
osteoporosis and associated fractures, said researcher Pam Hinton, adding that
they have come to realize that the people with obesity and Type 2 diabetes have
an increased risk of fractures.
This study doesn’t explain how exercise increased bone
quality, Hinton said. The animals in the exercise group were healthier; they
didn’t develop the same insulin resistance and diabetes, which might
explain why the bones of the exercising rats were healthier, Hinton said. The
study appears in the journal Metabolism.

What junk food does to your body in only seven days
will shock you!
A new study has revealed that a junk food diet
can damage your body in just a single week. In the study,
six men were fed 6,000 calories a day of pizza, burgers and
other junk food and it took only two days for their bodies to show
signs of serious diseases, The Mirror reports. Out of the six men, three men
were normal weight, three were overweight and none were obese or unhealthy.
Throughout the study all the participants were on bed rest and in a week, they
had gained an average of 3.5kg and started showing signs of insulin resistance.
Researchers found that insulin Âresistance was a key
component totype-2
diabetes. Guenther Boden of Temple University School of Medicine in
Philadelphia said their aim was to recreate the ‘average American’ diet and
find out how it can lead to Type 2 diabetes. Boden said that it was a
regular-American diet, composed of pizzas, hamburgers and that sort of
thing. During the study, men gained an average of 3.5 kg and showed signs of
insulin resistance as well as oxidative stress.
