New studies by The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism says lean individuals could increase their muscle mass to decrease insulin resistance thereby reducing the chances of contracting pre-diabetes. Researchers claim for every 10% bulking of muscle mass, the risks of pre-diabetes fell down by 12%. Experts further advice to get into resistance training for 3 days and make it part of one’s weekly or fortnightly fitness plan. They also suggest enrolling into 2-1/2 hours of weekly cardio activity that involves burning of glucose such as cycling, swimming or running.
