Huntingdonshire Undefeatables

What is Huntingdonshire Undefeatables?

There are many benefits of being active when you have long-term health conditions.

Moving more can:

  • help you look after your blood pressure, because high blood pressure means you’re more at risk of a range of health conditions, including diabetes complications

  • help to improve cholesterol (blood fats) to help protect against problems like heart disease

  • help you lose weight if you need to, and keep the weight off after you’ve lost it

  • give you energy and help you sleep

  • help your joints and flexibility

  • help your mind as well as your body - exercise releases endorphins, which you could think of as happy hormones. Being active is proven to reduce stress levels and improve low mood

  • help people with type 2 diabetes improve their HbA1c. In some cases, this can help people with the condition go into remission

  • help people with type 2 diabetes by the body using insulin better by increasing insulin sensitivity.

It’s important to remember that being active is even more beneficial if you’re also making healthier food choices, not smoking and getting enough sleep.
