Arnold Schwarzenegger, the prominent figure in bodybuilding and showbiz, took to his newsletter to talk about a method against a formidable challenger- type-2 diabetes. Contradictory to what many would expect, his approach was not centered around intense workouts or heavy weightlifting. Instead, the seven-time Mr. Olympia has a simple yet effective hack to share with others who can benefit from this.

Arnie has been in the fitness industry for over four decades, having tried and tested many regimens not only to sculpt his body but also to delve into a healthy lifestyle. Later in his career, he initiated his daily newsletter called ‘Arnold’s Pump Club’ to share his wisdom. It is here that he talked about diabetes as well.

Arnie says brisk walking will help fight diabetes

In his recent newsletter, the bodybuilding legend began by saying ‘Walk this way’ to fight against diabetes. According to him, the key to winning the battle against diabetes wasn’t just slowing down and enjoying life, it was about picking up the pace, literally. He unfolded a groundbreaking study that caught his attention. Scientists have delved into different studies, spanning an average of eight years, to unravel the link between walking speed and the onset of type-2 diabetes.

According to the study mentioned in the newsletter, “People who walked at the fastest pace approximately 4 miles per hour- saw a 39 percent reduction in type 2 diabetes.” Furthermore, “Those who walked at the slowest pace (about 2 miles per hour) were still 15 percent less likely to develop type-2 diabetes. And if you can move at a brisk pace (3 miles or 4.8 kilometers per hour), you see a 25 percent reduction,” Schwarzenegger wrote in his newsletter.

Schwarzenegger also revealed how walking brings good health, like managing blood sugar, and also helps in losing weight. From his latest book ‘Be Useful-Seven Tools for Life’ to his newsletter, he has been showing the benefits of this simple task accompanied with another technique.
