Your bones may hold key to better blood sugar control
Bones are now understood to actively regulate metabolism and blood sugar. Weight-bearing exercises stimulate osteoblasts, releasing osteocalcin, which enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization. This bone-pancreas-muscle feedback loop is crucial for metabolic health, with improved bone health leading to better diabetes management.
