Interesting article from Science Daily on the effect of lifting weights on blood sugar--great news for those of us who lift, though we all knew lifting was beneficial to us....
"Apr. 7, 2013 — Researchers in the Life Sciences Institute at the University of Michigan have challenged a long-held belief that whitening of skeletal muscle in diabetes is harmful. In fact, the white muscle that increases with resistance training, age and diabetes helps keep blood sugar in check, the researchers showed.
In addition, the insights from the molecular pathways involved in this phenomenon and identified in the study may point the way to potential drug targets for obesity and metabolic disease."
