Weightlifting is good for your heart. November 15, 2018

"My muscle doesn't know the difference if I'm digging in the yard, carrying heavy shopping bags or lifting a dumbbell." - said Lee, DC (Duck-chul) Lee, associate professor of kinesiology. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181113115430.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fhealth_medicine%2Fdiabetes+%28Diabetes+News+--+ScienceDaily%29

      Well said. It just very well said.So, when in clinic doctor pretend that I do have 400 pound because of sedentary life style I said: "doctor, I work 12 hours a day, six days a week, and I do have two teens to care for." Really, how sedative my life can be with this job I do?  Doctor responded, it does not matter, I have to walk not from working place back to home, but in opposite direction, from home to ocean. At that time I really was not able to understand, what difference is in these walks?
      Now I do have time. I no longer work. I am disable person. Also I do not care for children any longer. They are drown up and live independently. So, I spend time watching videos, play cards, and read medical e-journals. Now I do not have any questions. The answer is right now in every one article or publication. Just read it with open mind. In every one of them they answer to some questions. Like in this one. There are really no difference if I walk from home to ocean, or from working place to home. Speed and distance are the key for work out, not direction of walking. Also there are no such things as 'sedentary life style' for blue collar workers. We do lifts, walks, aerobics, and so so so on.
     So, diabetes type 2 cannot be caused by low activity. As many studies show, blue collar workers develop diabetes type 2, and high income society members less prone to develop diabetes type 2.

 Less than an hour of weekly resistance exercise (compared with no resistance exercise) was associated with a 29 percent lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which increases risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.    

Metabolic syndrome is the condition when elevated level of sugar in blood, high BP, high cholesterol, overweight. So, what is diabetes type 2 ? If I do have Metabolic syndrome then  there are 29% of higher risk I will develop diabetes type 2. I really lost, diabetes type 2 and Metabolic syndrome are the same or they are two different diseases?

"People may think they need to spend a lot of time lifting weights, but just two sets of bench presses that take less than 5 minutes could be effective," said DC (Duck-chul) Lee, associate professor of kinesiology.

This is also too complicated to accept. We do not live in area where in every step we take there are weight lift bench available.  To use bench we have to go to gym. This is time consuming: to ride to-from club, to dress-undress, to take shower before-after working with lifts,So, if it is presented that it is just 5 min for once a week, it is pure misleading. To have bench at home is also do not easy to use. There are no spot for bench in urban living. There are time to worm-up, and it is difficult to do in urban apartment. We are not celebrities with personal training center. We live in shoe-box.

 Lee and his colleagues analyzed data of nearly 13,000 adults in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study. They measured three health outcomes: cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke that did not result in death, all cardiovascular events including death and any type of death. Lee says resistance exercise reduced the risk for all three.

So, there were no one death in Center, right? Really, what authors are talking about? How did they count risk and benefits? Sorry guys, I did not get your humor. Stroke and heart attacks did not happen so sadden as it is presented. Lomg before heart start to fail, and stop to puch blood, there are many signals sent to us, and we go to clinic, to see a doctor. Usually there are too less help. But because of it is weakness and sickness, we do not go to lift weights. We stay home and try to get some rest. In most cases we survive first heart attacks. But if in this condition we try to be on streets, to take power walk, or start to lift weight, chances to survive drop very very low. Sure, every one of us do know it. It is better to be educated and open mined then let wear spaghetti on ears.

"The results are encouraging, but will people make weightlifting part of their lifestyle? Will they do it and stick with it? That's the million-dollar question," Lee said.

This is the answer, no.  Really, if I have to live just to lift weight, walk and count calories, then thak you so much, I better to be gone. How human this style of life?
Who are are pleased to lift iron disks? No one. 
We go to work because of we need money to live life we wish.
We eat because of it is both, nice feelings and physical demand of our bodies.
We go to do many things when we do have money to spend and time to spear.
We rest when we are tired,  or we are ill.
Why do I post it in this way?
It is all the time said that we need to take insulin for the rest of our lives. No rest, no skip. There are many talks to stop diabetes, to stop insulin injections. But to mover iron blocks for the rest of our lives presented as 'healthy'? How 'healthy' is it?
     I prefer to take insulin shot, push insulin into my belly, and I am free for the rest of the day.  Easy. Convenient. Just two minutes, and I am dose. Now I can go to Metropolitan Opera or to listen to the Organ Concert. To go to Bally if I wish. Or simple watch tv. I am free.
